[PATCH] Documentation/git-filter-branch: add a new commit-filter example

There is a commit-filter example already which skips commits but there is no example on how to edit commit messages.

One can figure out this example by carefully reading the git-filter-branch and git-commit-tree documentation but I think it isn't trivial so this example is helpful.

The lack of such an example was noticed by dvorak on IRC.
