It seems odd to me, by the way, that filter-branch has its own
home-grown backup mechanism. Lots of other commands can "lose" commits,
but none of them keep an extra backup like this.
And I find it tedious for quicker jobs which it might otherwise be
useful for (e.g. rewrites of commits in my tree not yet in upstream),
unless I wrap it in a script that cleans up after itself.
