We're in fact trying to make a generic recipe and put it in 'man
git-filter-branch'. The preliminary patch is here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/109925/
Once you convince your eyes to ignore the leading +, it should be
fairly easy to read in patch form. ;-)
It would be very helpful if you could try the recipe, and report if it
worked.
