Re: Rewriting history with git-filter-branch and leaking objects (?)

I've been playing with git-filter-branch, and was wondering how objects
from the original branch are supposed to be removed.

It looks like removing the refs/original/* refs is not enough.

And it also looks like when all references seem to be removed, git-prune
doesn't fully do its job...

It is quite quite hard to get rid of objects.  You need to get the
reflogs for the commits and the files expired.

An easier way is probably to make a new clone in the
neighbouring directory locally.
