+======================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-rewrite-commits - Rewrite commits
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-rewrite-commits' [--index-map <command>] [--commit-map <command>]
+	[<rev-list options>...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Lets you rewrite the commits selected by the gitlink:git-rev-list[1]
+options, optionally applying custom maps on each of them.
+These maps either modify the tree associated to a commit
+(through manipulations of the index) or the (raw) commit itself.
+Any commit within the specified range that is filtered out
+through a pattern is removed from its children (assuming they
+are in range) and replaced by the closest ancestors that
+are either not being rewritten or not filtered out.
+
+Any branch pointing to any of the rewritten commits is replaced
+by a pointer to the new commit.  The original pointers are saved
+in the refs/rewritten hierarchy.  Any SHA1 in the commit message
+of any of the rewritten commits that points to (another) rewritten
+commit is replaced by the SHA1 of the corresponding new commit.
+
+Besides the actions specified by the maps, the new commits
+will also reflect any grafts that may apply to any of the selected commits.
+
+*WARNING*! The rewritten history will have different object names for all
+the objects and will not converge with the original branch.  You will not
+be able to easily push and distribute the rewritten branch on top of the
+original branch.  Please do not use this command if you do not know the
+full implications, and avoid using it anyway, if a simple single commit
+would suffice to fix your problem.
+
+Maps
+~~~~
+
+The maps are applied in the order as listed below.  The <command>
+argument is run as "sh -c '<command'>".
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--index-map <command>::
+	This map should only modify the index specified by 'GIT_INDEX_FILE'.
+	Prior to running the map, this temporary index is populated
+	with the tree of the commit that is being rewritten.
+	This tree will be replaced according to the new state of this
+	temporary index after the map finishes.
+
+--commit-map <command>::
+	This map receives the (raw) commit on stdin and should produce
+	the (possibly) modified commit on stdout.  In the input commit,
+	the tree has already been modified by the index map (if any)
+	and has all references to older commits (including the parents)
+	changed to the possibly rewritten commits.
+
+<rev-list-options>::
+	Selects the commits to be rewritten, defaulting to the history
+	that lead to HEAD.  If commits are filtered using a (negative)
+	pattern then all the commits filtered out will be removed
+	from the history of the selected commits.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Suppose you want to remove a file (containing confidential information
+or copyright violation) from all commits:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+git rewrite-commits --index-map 'git update-index --remove filename'
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now, you will get the rewritten history saved in your current branch
+(the old branch is saved in refs/rewritten).
+
+To set a commit "$graft-id" (which typically is at the tip of another
+history) to be the parent of the current initial commit "$commit-id", in
+order to paste the other history behind the current history:
+
+-----------------------------------------------
+echo "$commit-id $graft-id" >> .git/info/grafts
+git rewrite-commits
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+To remove commits authored by "Darl McBribe" from the history:
+
+--------------------------------------------
+git rewrite-commits --author='!Darl McBribe'
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Note that the changes introduced by the commits, and not reverted by
+subsequent commits, will still be in the rewritten branch. If you want
+to throw out _changes_ together with the commits, you should use the
+interactive mode of gitlink:git-rebase[1].
+
+Consider this history:
+
+------------------
+     D--E--F--G--H
+    /     /
+A--B-----C
+------------------
+
+To rewrite only commits D,E,F,G,H, but leave A, B and C alone, use:
+
+--------------------------------
+git rewrite-commits ... C..H
+--------------------------------
+
+To rewrite commits E,F,G,H, use one of these:
+
+----------------------------------------
+git rewrite-commits ... C..H --not D
+git rewrite-commits ... D..H --not C
+----------------------------------------
+
+To move the whole tree into a subdirectory, or remove it from there:
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+git rewrite-commits --index-map \
+	'git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t-&newsubdir/-" |
+		GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
+			git update-index --index-info &&
+	 mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE'
+---------------------------------------------------------------
