You really shouldn't do it this way, unless you do it on a ramdisk. Better
use an --index-filter. This is modeled after the last example in the man
page (and, of course, untested):
git filter-branch --index-filter \
'git ls-files -s |
grep -v " big_dira" |
grep -v " big_dirb" |
GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
git update-index --index-info &&
mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE' HEAD
where the space before big_dir is actually a literal TAB!
