Or to solve problems like

  Gaaah! This file we've had in the repository for the last 17 months
  has copyright problems and we can't distribute it!

or

  Wouldn't it be nice to permanently include all that old Linux
  history that's currently grafted onto the "real" history?

In other words, general history rewriting, but fast.

(Disclaimer: I've never tried to use the history rewrite tool that
Cogito has, so I don't know its limitations, or how fast it is.)
