 6. Elijah: replace refs helps, but not supported by hosts like GitHub etc
     a. Stolee: breaks commit graph because of generation numbers.
     b. Replace refs for blobs, then special packfile, there were edge cases.

I am interested in more details on how to handle this using replace.

My situation: coworkers push big files by mistake, I don't want to rewrite
history because they are not too well versed with git, but I want to keep
*my* repo clean.

Wouldn't it be better to prevent *them* from such mistakes, e.g. by using
pre-push review system like Gerrit?
