But it turns out that I have a buglet here in git-commit-tree, which would not accept committer dates before 2000-1-1 00:00:01 UTC, but since the first commit is from 1999, this test rewrote the entire history, which was not intended. --- 8< --- From: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@xxxxxxxxxx> filter-branch: Use rev-list arguments to specify revision ranges. A subset of commits in a branch used to be specified by options (-k, -r) as well as the branch tip itself (-s). It is more natural (for git users) to specify revision ranges like 'master..next' instead. This makes it so. If no range is specified it defaults to 'HEAD'. As a consequence, the new name of the filtered branch must be the first non-option argument. All remaining arguments are passed to 'git rev-list' unmodified. The tip of the branch that gets filtered is implied: It is the first commit that git rev-list would print for the specified range.
