... ok this is interesting: git-filter-branch will take the info from
grafts to create its new commits. The new commits will contain all
information independent of the grafts file, right?

Yes.

... but, I'm not convinced that this is what I need. I need to mix the
tree of onto with the files _modified_ between from..to. Taking _all_
files from the commits between from..to is _wrong_. And I think that
is what the command you proposed would do.

My proposed commands won't do what you need. They just change
parenthood, but not the tree snapshots that they represent.
