BREAKING: This completely replaces the previous approach and will DELETE
all existing history on GitHub, creating entirely new commit SHAs.
Key changes:
- Use orphan branch instead of cherry-pick to break history connection
- Create initial commit from target commit tree using git read-tree
- Apply subsequent changes as completely new commits with new SHAs
- Force push will COMPLETELY REPLACE GitHub history
- No trace of commits before 7aca927937 will remain on GitHub
This ensures GitHub shows only history from the target commit onwards
with no connection to previous commits or their metadata.
