"git filter-branch -- --all" can be confused when refs that refer to objects other than commits or tags exists. Because "git rev-parse --all" that is internally used can return refs that refer to an object other than commit or tag. But it is not considered in the phase of updating refs. Such refs can be created by "git replace" with objects other than commits or trees. Signed-off-by: Yuki Kokubun <orga.chem.job@xxxxxxxxx> --- This patch fix the bug of the first patch.
