	I tried to extract the magic of the "remove commit" example into a 
	function "skip_commit", since I guess it will be a common 
	operation. Alas, since the commit filter has to be "sh -c"ed to 
	get arguments, I do not see any way to use a convenience function 
	in there, short of sourcing a helper file. Does anybody see a 
	better way?

 the id of the commit being rewritten.  Also, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME,
 GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL,
