Actually, ripple-through changes are rare. In the current project it seems I need exactly one, but it's buried deep in the past (sadly). The reason why I need it, is to make sure that git-bisect will work for any revision in the past (i.e. the tree contained/contains some too-clever-for-their-own-good $Revision$-expansion dependencies)
But you do know that you don't need to apply the change *now*; you can apply it at bisect-time? Unless you expect you or your mere mortal coworkers are going to do dozens of bisects into that part of the history, I wouldn't change history *like*this*. But of course, I don't understand the circumstances enough, so... just my 2 cents.
That is exactly the case, I do expect dozens of bisects.
