Try the -purge tool:

I haven't used it outside of tests, so try it in a throwaway repo,
first :)

It doesn't need to do a full reindex.  And the "rebase" should
be quick when done via fast-import (doesn't need to rewrite
blobs, only commit history).  The repack might be the slowest
part of the operation.
