I have no idea if it is possible to do it in place, but "git clone" and 
"git fetch" have the --depth option. So you can specify how many last 
commits you would like to have in the cloned repository. Using "git 
rebase --interactive" it is possible to squash e.g. daily commits into 
weekly or monthly ones. The drawback is that git rebase changes commit 
hashes.
