Re: [PATCH 1/2] filter-branch: provide the convenience functions also for commit filters

My response to those people who might shout is that this is
merely a step to complete a _new_ program that was not in _any_
released version to make it feature complete.  You do not have
to even pretend that filter-branch did not exist before -- it
actually didn't.  The new part might be buggier than other
parts, but that's the same way as any other software development
process.  If the new 'map' does not work as advertised there is
always 1.5.3.1.

Thanks.
