You probably meant that you do not care about filter-branch too deeply?
;-)

FWIW neither do I. Recently, I had the need for some large-scale
rewriting, and I used this as an excuse to learn me some
`git-repo-filter`. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to use, and
how fast it works.

So yeah, I don't care about `git filter-branch` too deeply, either ;-)
