These are the commands I would use.  I do not know how many are
superstitions and how many are truly helpful.  I welcome comments on
it.

git filter-branch --prune-empty --index-filter 'git update-index --
remove problem/file/name' HEAD
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --aggressive --prune=now
git repack -ad

The sha1s are all going to change though, which is going to make
merging all wrong for people who already pulled it.  That may not be a
problem for you...
