> Maybe a series of rebase operations could handle them one by one,
I think there's some miscommunication. rebase won't deal with blobs,
filter-branch will. rebase (used as described) will just apply (ranges
of) changes from one branch into a rewritten branch.
Yes, I know that. The rebase handles all the revisions that don't
affect blobs.
I cannot restate this in full detail every time I refer to it.
Once the rebasing and the remembering you described above (and I
described before) are easily integrated into git pull/merge/rebase, I
believe so.
Why does it matter to integrate them into git?
Using a special command for the conversion is no big deal.
