git-filter-branch can do that. See the top of the EXAMPLES section in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-filter-branch.html
This requires a rewrite of all history affected; make sure you
understand the implications if you have already published it. See the
DISCUSSION in the same manpage.
Also note that due to the distributed nature, you cannot force such
changed history upon anyone; i.e., you cannot remove the objects from
anyone else's repository. You can only ask them to accept your new
history and forget that the old one was ever there.
