That did not work, i.e. fourCircles remained "unmodified". Eventually, I managed by successively removing the file with "C" and then the file with "c". Then filter-branch, and then reset --hard as you suggested. Then of course, all the sha's have changed and git cvsimport can't be used for incremental updates anymore, which I knew would happen, obviously.
