Ah, that looks like it should work - thanks

Or just an option for git {rm,mv,cp} that would allow simple rewriting
of history. Ie:
git mv HEAD~3.. -- foo bar
(obviously not the sanest thing in most cases but would be a shorter
reach than filter-branch - and if newest isn't head then it'd what?
move it back during commits for who knows what - still...)
Thanks for pointing out the users list - didn't notice it and sorry
for posting a user question on a dev list.
