I believe there is a much easier way to do that using .git/info/grafts
The first step is to create .git/info/grafts, which specifies commit-id
and its parents for each commit that you want to change. Then you
can check the result using gitk, and if you are satisfied with what
you see then you run git filter-branch on it to convert 'fake' parents
into real ones.

Oh yes, this is much easier.  Unless I'm missing something, the
documentation on grafts is fairly sparse, though.  They are mentioned
(almost in passing) in git help filter-branch but the file format is
only documented in repository-layout.txt which seems more developer
than user oriented.
