The git-filter-branch documentation mentions creating refs/original
under .git.  Unfortunately, it doesn't contain any links or
documentation on how I'd clean those out and I haven't been able to
figure it out.  I asked on #git how to clean these out and got some
answers that didn't work (git branch -d and something else I don't
remember).  So...how do I fix the reflog, and then repack to have a
pack under 11MB in size?

Thanks,
Elijah
