While that is a common criticism, if we're going to do this at all, we should 
do it in a single patch, as we can use --ignore-rev:

This is a pretty common thing to do, and I don't think it should prevent us 
from doing this, which I think is the 'greater good' here.  The alternative is 
to continue having a bunch of unrelated patches piece-meal 'erase' git history 
as people accidentally fix these.
