Hi,

I think he means a dump that you can meaningfully edit with sed or a 
text editor. And even nicer, one that could be fed back into 
git-fast-import. So you could do something like:

git-fast-export A..B >dump
vi dump
git-fast-import <dump

to rewrite history in a very flexible way.
Exactly what I meant.  Some people seem to have problems with 
filter-branch, but somehow no proper bug report, let alone fix, evolved 
from that.

I guess these people are more comfortable with what you just described.
