Honestly not sure it's worth bothering fixing filter-branch at this
point, given the strong WARNINGs we added to it.  If anything, I'd
just add another warning to the pile for this issue.  If folks really
still want/need filter-branch once SHA-256 is the only option, I'm
sure they'll be motivated to make the necessary fixes (or just use/fix
filter-repo's filter-branch-ish).

You're probably right that it's not a good use of time, but I just sent
a series fixing it. It was one of those cases where I was like "oh, it's
probably just X". And then "no, wait...", and before I knew it I had
wasted an hour fixing filter-branch. ;)
