This script is derived from Pasky's cg-admin-rewritehist.

In fact, it _is_ the same script, minimally adapted to work without cogito.
It _should_ be able to perform the same tasks, even if only relying on
core-git programs.

All the work is Pasky's, just the adaption is mine.

I was thinking about rewriting cg-adin-rewritehist as git-rewritehist
using Perl (IIRC it needs bash, not only POSIX shell), and make it
use git-fast-import.

First, it does not need Perl.

Second, it does not even need bash.

At least that is what I tried to make sure. I replaced the only instance 
of a bashim I was aware, namely the arrayism of $unchanged. It can be a 
string just as well, as we are only storing object names in it.

Tell me if it does not work for you.

Or even better, provide me with a test case that fails for you.

Ciao,
Dscho
