You can see an example of the usage in:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/devicetree/devicetree-rebasing.git/
in the `scripts/` sub dir (flow is `cronjob` → `filter.sh` → `git
filter-branch...`.
I think the big difference is rather than `--all` you need to give it
the `previous..now` range since that is the update you wish to do
(first time around you just give it `now`).
The devicetree-rebasing scripting arranges that by keeping the previous
in a separate branch.
