+# Rewrite revision history
+# Copyright (c) Petr Baudis, 2006
+# Minimal changes to "port" it to core-git (c) Johannes Schindelin, 2007
+#
+# Lets you rewrite GIT revision history by creating a new branch from
+# your current branch by applying custom filters on each revision.
+# Those filters can modify each tree (e.g. removing a file or running
+# a perl rewrite on all files) or information about each commit.
+# Otherwise, all information (including original commit times or merge
+# information) will be preserved.
+#
+# The command takes the new branch name as a mandatory argument and
+# the filters as optional arguments. If you specify no filters, the
+# commits will be recommitted without any changes, which would normally
+# have no effect and result with the new branch pointing to the same
+# branch as your current branch. (Nevertheless, this may be useful in
+# the future for compensating for some Git bugs or such, therefore
+# such a usage is permitted.)
+#
+# WARNING! The rewritten history will have different ids for all the
+# objects and will not converge with the original branch. You will not
+# be able to easily push and distribute the rewritten branch. Please do
+# not use this command if you do not know the full implications, and
+# avoid using it anyway - do not do what a simple single commit on top
+# of the current version would fix.
+#
+# Always verify that the rewritten version is correct before disposing
+# the original branch.
+#
+# Note that since this operation is extensively I/O expensive, it might
+# be a good idea to do it off-disk, e.g. on tmpfs. Reportedly the speedup
+# is very noticeable.
+#
+# OPTIONS
+# -------
+# -d TEMPDIR:: The path to the temporary tree used for rewriting
+# When applying a tree filter, the command needs to temporary
+# checkout the tree to some directory, which may consume
+# considerable space in case of large projects. By default it
+# does this in the '.git-rewrite/' directory but you can override
+# that choice by this parameter.
+#
+# Filters
+# ~~~~~~~
+# The filters are applied in the order as listed below. The COMMAND
+# argument is always evaluated in shell using the 'eval' command.
+# The $GIT_COMMIT environment variable is permanently set to contain
+# the id of the commit being rewritten. The author/committer environment
+# variables are set before the first filter is run.
+#
+# A 'map' function is available that takes an "original sha1 id" argument
+# and outputs a "rewritten sha1 id" if the commit has been already
+# rewritten, fails otherwise; the 'map' function can return several
+# ids on separate lines if your commit filter emitted multiple commits
+# (see below).
+#
+# --env-filter COMMAND:: The filter for modifying environment
+# This is the filter for modifying the environment in which
+# the commit will be performed. Specifically, you might want
+# to rewrite the author/committer name/email/time environment
+# variables (see `git-commit` for details). Do not forget to
+# re-export the variables.
+#
+# --tree-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting tree (and its contents)
+# This is the filter for rewriting the tree and its contents.
+# The COMMAND argument is evaluated in shell with the working
+# directory set to the root of the checked out tree. The new tree
+# is then used as-is (new files are auto-added, disappeared files
+# are auto-removed - .gitignore files nor any other ignore rules
+# HAVE NO EFFECT!).
+#
+# --index-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting index
+# This is the filter for rewriting the Git's directory index.
+# It is similar to the tree filter but does not check out the
+# tree, which makes it much faster. However, you must use the
+# lowlevel Git index manipulation commands to do your work.
+#
+# --parent-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting parents
+# This is the filter for rewriting the commit's parent list.
+# It will receive the parent string on stdin and shall output
+# the new parent string on stdout. The parent string is in
+# format accepted by `git-commit-tree`: empty for initial
+# commit, "-p parent" for a normal commit and "-p parent1
+# -p parent2 -p parent3 ..." for a merge commit.
+#
+# --msg-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting commit message
+# This is the filter for rewriting the commit messages.
+# The COMMAND argument is evaluated in shell with the original
+# commit message on standard input; its standard output is
+# is used as the new commit message.
+#
+# --commit-filter COMMAND:: The filter for performing the commit
+# If this filter is passed, it will be called instead of the
+# `git-commit-tree` command, with those arguments:
+#
+# TREE_ID [-p PARENT_COMMIT_ID]...
+#
+# and the log message on stdin. The commit id is expected on
+# stdout. As a special extension, the commit filter may emit
+# multiple commit ids; in that case, all of them will be used
+# as parents instead of the original commit in further commits.
+#
+# --tag-name-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting tag names.
+# If this filter is passed, it will be called for every tag ref
+# that points to a rewritten object (or to a tag object which
+# points to a rewritten object). The original tag name is passed
+# via standard input, and the new tag name is expected on standard
+# output.
+#
+# The original tags are not deleted, but can be overwritten;
+# use "--tag-name-filter=cat" to simply update the tags. In this
+# case, be very careful and make sure you have the old tags
+# backed up in case the conversion has run afoul.
+#
+# Note that there is currently no support for proper rewriting of
+# tag objects; in layman terms, if the tag has a message or signature
+# attached, the rewritten tag won't have it. Sorry. (It is by
+# definition impossible to preserve signatures at any rate, though.)
+#
+# --subdirectory-filter DIRECTORY:: Only regard the history, as seen by
+# the given subdirectory. The result will contain that directory as
+# its project root.
+#
+# EXAMPLE USAGE
+# -------------
+# Suppose you want to remove a file (containing confidential information
+# or copyright violation) from all commits:
+#
+# git-filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm filename' newbranch
+#
+# A significantly faster version:
+#
+# git-filter-branch --index-filter 'git-update-index --remove filename' newbranch
+#
+# Now, you will get the rewritten history saved in the branch 'newbranch'
+# (your current branch is left untouched).
+#
+# To "etch-graft" a commit to the revision history (set a commit to be
+# the parent of the current initial commit and propagate that):
+#
+# git-filter-branch --parent-filter sed\ 's/^$/-p graftcommitid/' newbranch
+#
+# (if the parent string is empty - therefore we are dealing with the
+# initial commit - add graftcommit as a parent). Note that this assumes
+# history with a single root (that is, no git-merge without common ancestors
+# happened). If this is not the case, use:
+#
+# git-filter-branch --parent-filter 'cat; [ "$GIT_COMMIT" = "COMMIT" ] && echo "-p GRAFTCOMMIT"' newbranch
+#
+# To remove commits authored by "Darl McBribe" from the history:
+#
+# git-filter-branch --commit-filter 'if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Darl McBribe" ]; then shift; while [ -n "$1" ]; do shift; echo "$1"; shift; done; else git-commit-tree "$@"; fi' newbranch
+#
+# (the shift magic first throws away the tree id and then the -p
+# parameters). Note that this handles merges properly! In case Darl
+# committed a merge between P1 and P2, it will be propagated properly
+# and all children of the merge will become merge commits with P1,P2
+# as their parents instead of the merge commit.
+#
+# To restrict rewriting to only part of the history, specify a revision
+# range in addition to the new branch name. The new branch name will
+# point to the top-most revision that a 'git rev-list' of this range
+# will print.
+#
+# Consider this history:
+#
+# D--E--F--G--H
+# / /
+# A--B-----C
+#
+# To rewrite commits D,E,F,G,H, use:
+#
+# git-filter-branch ... new-H C..H
+#
+# To rewrite commits E,F,G,H, use one of these:
+#
+# git-filter-branch ... new-H C..H --not D
+# git-filter-branch ... new-H D..H --not C
