Removing commited versions from git history

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

I want to permanently delete an old revision (or revisions) of single 
file from Git. Specifically, I want to delete from my public git server 
repo my initial published version of one single file, but keep the rest 
of its revisions. How can I do that? 

I've done some searching, as follows. But none of them seem to answer my 
specific question. I don't have stackoverflow account or on git mlist.
The debian.user is my only place to ask technical questions. Please help. 

Thanks a lot!
