Seem to work for me ( with 'gc' and 'prune' thereafter ) but with these quirks:
*) the git-filter-branch(1) tells that there must be two ids:
echo "$commit-id $graft-id" >> .git/info/grafts
This works for me if only one is put there.
*) I'd like to have a command for this. Is this a '--parent-filter' to make
the same thing?
N commits ago is a fine setting for me as it's a cron job backup. Thanks?
