Re: suggested feature: completely expunge a file (or just a delta) a la rebase

Here's an idea for a git feature.  (Or perhaps this is already
possible and I just don't see it.)

Anyway, I realized that hacking the archive this way isn't very
elegant, but maybe others would find it useful.  It seems like the
basic technique of git-rebase could be applied here.

There have been talks about polishing cg-rewritehist into a
shape suitable for inclusion in core git.git, now Cogito is not
actively developed anymore.

I think the first thing to fix is its name "rewritehist", which
may technically be correct, feels a bit too ugly ;-)
