Hello.

* = Thanks!

Here is the PoC QnD code that releases disk space for me by far:

    git rev-list --all --timestamp |\
        perl -Mstrict -MTime::ParseDate -wE \
            'my $match = 0; my $expire = parsedate( "3 days ago" ); while (<>)
                { chomp; my ( $tstamp => $graft_id ) = split /\s+/;
                    if ( not( $match ) and $tstamp < $expire )
                        { say $graft_id; $match = 1; } }
            ' > .git/info/grafts && \
    git filter-branch -f

for case a one shall seek for it.
