This patch allows

  git filter-branch --blob-filter 'tr a-z A-Z'

The commit message munging you did is fine.

However, I think Johannes Sixt's question about providing the pathname
needs to be resolved. As it is now, the blob-filter is impossible to use
in a mixed binary/text repository, short of the undocumented $path magic
that you described. And I am a little uncomfortable just adding the
$path as he suggested because of the subtle bug it introduces.
