I am not a git expert, but I think there a couple of things you can do:
Create a new branch and push just the branch to your usb stick.
Use git rebase to rewrite all your earlier commits into one huge commit.
Using rebase is a bit like juggling chain saws while walking blindfold
along a tightrope, so make sure that you pratice on a backup first.
Ian.
