git-filter-branch still exists, still has the same regression tests, etc., but it is now being tracked in a separate repo that users will need to download separately.

-WARNING
--------
-'git filter-branch' has a plethora of pitfalls that can produce non-obvious
-manglings of the intended history rewrite (and can leave you with little
-time to investigate such problems since it has such abysmal performance).
-These safety and performance issues cannot be backward compatibly fixed and
-as such, its use is not recommended.  Please use an alternative history
-filtering tool such as https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/[git
-filter-repo].  If you still need to use 'git filter-branch', please
-carefully read the "Safety" section of the message on the Git mailing list
-https://public-inbox.org/git/CABPp-BEDOH-row-hxY4u_cP30ptqOpcCvPibwyZ2wBu142qUbA@mail.gmail.com/[detailing
-the land mines of filter-branch] and vigilantly avoid as many of the
-hazards listed there as reasonably possible.
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Lets you rewrite Git revision history by rewriting the branches mentioned
-in the <rev-list options>, applying custom filters on each revision.
-Those filters can modify each tree (e.g. removing a file or running
-a perl rewrite on all files) or information about each commit.
-Otherwise, all information (including original commit times or merge
-information) will be preserved.
-
-The command will only rewrite the _positive_ refs mentioned in the
-command line (e.g. if you pass 'a..b', only 'b' will be rewritten).
-If you specify no filters, the commits will be recommitted without any
-changes, which would normally have no effect.  Nevertheless, this may be
-useful in the future for compensating for some Git bugs or such,
-therefore such a usage is permitted.
-
-*NOTE*: This command honors `.git/info/grafts` file and refs in
-the `refs/replace/` namespace.
-If you have any grafts or replacement refs defined, running this command
-will make them permanent.
-
-*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.  (See the "RECOVERING FROM UPSTREAM
-REBASE" section in linkgit:git-rebase[1] for further information about
-rewriting published history.)
-
-Always verify that the rewritten version is correct: The original refs,
-if different from the rewritten ones, will be stored in the namespace
-'refs/original/'.
-
-Note that since this operation is very I/O expensive, it might
-be a good idea to redirect the temporary directory off-disk with the
-`-d` option, e.g. on tmpfs.  Reportedly the speedup is very noticeable.
-
-
-Filters
-~~~~~~~
-
-The filters are applied in the order as listed below.  The <command>
-argument is always evaluated in the shell context using the 'eval' command
-(with the notable exception of the commit filter, for technical reasons).
-Prior to that, the `$GIT_COMMIT` environment variable will be set to contain
-the id of the commit being rewritten.  Also, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME,
-GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL,
-and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE are taken from the current commit and exported to
-the environment, in order to affect the author and committer identities of
-the replacement commit created by linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] after the
-filters have run.
-
-If any evaluation of <command> returns a non-zero exit status, the whole
-operation will be aborted.
-
-A 'map' function is available that takes an "original sha1 id" argument
-and outputs a "rewritten sha1 id" if the commit has been already
-rewritten, and "original sha1 id" otherwise; the 'map' function can
-return several ids on separate lines if your commit filter emitted
-multiple commits.
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
---setup <command>::
-	This is not a real filter executed for each commit but a one
-	time setup just before the loop. Therefore no commit-specific
-	variables are defined yet.  Functions or variables defined here
-	can be used or modified in the following filter steps except
-	the commit filter, for technical reasons.
-
---subdirectory-filter <directory>::
-	Only look at the history which touches the given subdirectory.
-	The result will contain that directory (and only that) as its
-	project root. Implies <<Remap_to_ancestor>>.
-
---env-filter <command>::
-	This filter may be used if you only need to modify the environment
-	in which the commit will be performed.  Specifically, you might
-	want to rewrite the author/committer name/email/time environment
-	variables (see linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] for details).
-
---tree-filter <command>::
-	This is the filter for rewriting the tree and its contents.
-	The argument is evaluated in shell with the working
-	directory set to the root of the checked out tree.  The new tree
-	is then used as-is (new files are auto-added, disappeared files
-	are auto-removed - neither .gitignore files nor any other ignore
-	rules *HAVE ANY EFFECT*!).
-
---index-filter <command>::
-	This is the filter for rewriting the index.  It is similar to the
-	tree filter but does not check out the tree, which makes it much
-	faster.  Frequently used with `git rm --cached
-	--ignore-unmatch ...`, see EXAMPLES below.  For hairy
-	cases, see linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-
---parent-filter <command>::
-	This is the filter for rewriting the commit's parent list.
-	It will receive the parent string on stdin and shall output
-	the new parent string on stdout.  The parent string is in
-	the format described in linkgit:git-commit-tree[1]: empty for
-	the initial commit, "-p parent" for a normal commit and
-	"-p parent1 -p parent2 -p parent3 ..." for a merge commit.
-
---msg-filter <command>::
-	This is the filter for rewriting the commit messages.
-	The argument is evaluated in the shell with the original
-	commit message on standard input; its standard output is
-	used as the new commit message.
-
---commit-filter <command>::
-	This is the filter for performing the commit.
-	If this filter is specified, it will be called instead of the
-	'git commit-tree' command, with arguments of the form
-	"<TREE_ID> [(-p <PARENT_COMMIT_ID>)...]" and the log message on
-	stdin.  The commit id is expected on stdout.
-+
-As a special extension, the commit filter may emit multiple
-commit ids; in that case, the rewritten children of the original commit will
-have all of them as parents.
-+
-You can use the 'map' convenience function in this filter, and other
-convenience functions, too.  For example, calling 'skip_commit "$@"'
-will leave out the current commit (but not its changes! If you want
-that, use 'git rebase' instead).
-+
-You can also use the `git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"` instead of
-`git commit-tree "$@"` if you don't wish to keep commits with a single parent
-and that makes no change to the tree.
-
---tag-name-filter <command>::
-	This is the filter for rewriting tag names. When passed,
-	it will be called for every tag ref that points to a rewritten
-	object (or to a tag object which points to a rewritten object).
-	The original tag name is passed via standard input, and the new
-	tag name is expected on standard output.
-+
-The original tags are not deleted, but can be overwritten;
-use "--tag-name-filter cat" to simply update the tags.  In this
-case, be very careful and make sure you have the old tags
-backed up in case the conversion has run afoul.
-+
-Nearly proper rewriting of tag objects is supported. If the tag has
-a message attached, a new tag object will be created with the same message,
-author, and timestamp. If the tag has a signature attached, the
-signature will be stripped. It is by definition impossible to preserve
-signatures. The reason this is "nearly" proper, is because ideally if
-the tag did not change (points to the same object, has the same name, etc.)
-it should retain any signature. That is not the case, signatures will always
-be removed, buyer beware. There is also no support for changing the
-author or timestamp (or the tag message for that matter). Tags which point
-to other tags will be rewritten to point to the underlying commit.
-
---prune-empty::
-	Some filters will generate empty commits that leave the tree untouched.
-	This option instructs git-filter-branch to remove such commits if they
-	have exactly one or zero non-pruned parents; merge commits will
-	therefore remain intact.  This option cannot be used together with
-	`--commit-filter`, though the same effect can be achieved by using the
-	provided `git_commit_non_empty_tree` function in a commit filter.
-
---original <namespace>::
-	Use this option to set the namespace where the original commits
-	will be stored. The default value is 'refs/original'.
-
--d <directory>::
-	Use this option to set the path to the temporary directory used for
-	rewriting.  When applying a tree filter, the command needs to
-	temporarily check out the tree to some directory, which may consume
-	considerable space in case of large projects.  By default it
-	does this in the `.git-rewrite/` directory but you can override
-	that choice by this parameter.
-
--f::
---force::
-	'git filter-branch' refuses to start with an existing temporary
-	directory or when there are already refs starting with
-	'refs/original/', unless forced.
-
---state-branch <branch>::
-	This option will cause the mapping from old to new objects to
-	be loaded from named branch upon startup and saved as a new
-	commit to that branch upon exit, enabling incremental of large
-	trees. If '<branch>' does not exist it will be created.
-
-<rev-list options>...::
-	Arguments for 'git rev-list'.  All positive refs included by
-	these options are rewritten.  You may also specify options
-	such as `--all`, but you must use `--` to separate them from
-	the 'git filter-branch' options. Implies <<Remap_to_ancestor>>.
-
-
-[[Remap_to_ancestor]]
-Remap to ancestor
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-By using linkgit:git-rev-list[1] arguments, e.g., path limiters, you can limit the
-set of revisions which get rewritten. However, positive refs on the command
-line are distinguished: we don't let them be excluded by such limiters. For
-this purpose, they are instead rewritten to point at the nearest ancestor that
-was not excluded.
-
-
-EXIT STATUS
------------
-
-On success, the exit status is `0`.  If the filter can't find any commits to
-rewrite, the exit status is `2`.  On any other error, the exit status may be
-any other non-zero value.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-Suppose you want to remove a file (containing confidential information
-or copyright violation) from all commits:
-
--------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm filename' HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-However, if the file is absent from the tree of some commit,
-a simple `rm filename` will fail for that tree and commit.
-Thus you may instead want to use `rm -f filename` as the script.
-
-Using `--index-filter` with 'git rm' yields a significantly faster
-version.  Like with using `rm filename`, `git rm --cached filename`
-will fail if the file is absent from the tree of a commit.  If you
-want to "completely forget" a file, it does not matter when it entered
-history, so we also add `--ignore-unmatch`:
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch filename' HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Now, you will get the rewritten history saved in HEAD.
-
-To rewrite the repository to look as if `foodir/` had been its project
-root, and discard all other history:
-
--------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter foodir -- --all
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Thus you can, e.g., turn a library subdirectory into a repository of
-its own.  Note the `--` that separates 'filter-branch' options from
-revision options, and the `--all` to rewrite all branches and tags.
-
-To set a commit (which typically is at the tip of another
-history) to be the parent of the current initial commit, in
-order to paste the other history behind the current history:
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --parent-filter 'sed "s/^\$/-p <graft-id>/"' HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-(if the parent string is empty - which happens when we are dealing with
-the initial commit - add graftcommit as a parent).  Note that this assumes
-history with a single root (that is, no merge without common ancestors
-happened).  If this is not the case, use:
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --parent-filter \
-	'test $GIT_COMMIT = <commit-id> && echo "-p <graft-id>" || cat' HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-or even simpler:
-
------------------------------------------------
-git replace --graft $commit-id $graft-id
-git filter-branch $graft-id..HEAD
------------------------------------------------
-
-To remove commits authored by "Darl McBribe" from the history:
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --commit-filter '
-	if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Darl McBribe" ];
-	then
-		skip_commit "$@";
-	else
-		git commit-tree "$@";
-	fi' HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The function 'skip_commit' is defined as follows:
-
---------------------------
-skip_commit()
-{
-	shift;
-	while [ -n "$1" ];
-	do
-		shift;
-		map "$1";
-		shift;
-	done;
-}
---------------------------
-
-The shift magic first throws away the tree id and then the -p
-parameters.  Note that this handles merges properly! In case Darl
-committed a merge between P1 and P2, it will be propagated properly
-and all children of the merge will become merge commits with P1,P2
-as their parents instead of the merge commit.
-
-*NOTE* the changes introduced by the commits, and which are not reverted
-by subsequent commits, will still be in the rewritten branch. If you want
-to throw out _changes_ together with the commits, you should use the
-interactive mode of 'git rebase'.
-
-You can rewrite the commit log messages using `--msg-filter`.  For
-example, 'git svn-id' strings in a repository created by 'git svn' can
-be removed this way:
-
--------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --msg-filter '
-	sed -e "/^git-svn-id:/d"
-'
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you need to add 'Acked-by' lines to, say, the last 10 commits (none
-of which is a merge), use this command:
-
---------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --msg-filter '
-	cat &&
-	echo "Acked-by: Bugs Bunny <bunny@bugzilla.org>"
-' HEAD~10..HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `--env-filter` option can be used to modify committer and/or author
-identity.  For example, if you found out that your commits have the wrong
-identity due to a misconfigured user.email, you can make a correction,
-before publishing the project, like this:
-
---------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --env-filter '
-	if test "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "root@localhost"
-	then
-		GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=john@example.com
-	fi
-	if test "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "root@localhost"
-	then
-		GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=john@example.com
-	fi
-' -- --all
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-To restrict rewriting to only part of the history, specify a revision
-range in addition to the new branch name.  The new branch name will
-point to the top-most revision that a 'git rev-list' of this range
-will print.
-
-Consider this history:
-
-------------------
-     D--E--F--G--H
-    /     /
-A--B-----C
-------------------
-
-To rewrite only commits D,E,F,G,H, but leave A, B and C alone, use:
-
---------------------------------
-git filter-branch ... C..H
---------------------------------
-
-To rewrite commits E,F,G,H, use one of these:
-
-----------------------------------------
-git filter-branch ... C..H --not D
-git filter-branch ... D..H --not C
-----------------------------------------
-
-To move the whole tree into a subdirectory, or remove it from there:
-
----------------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --index-filter \
-	'git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t\"*-&newsubdir/-" |
-		GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
-			git update-index --index-info &&
-	 mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"' HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-CHECKLIST FOR SHRINKING A REPOSITORY
-------------------------------------
-
-git-filter-branch can be used to get rid of a subset of files,
-usually with some combination of `--index-filter` and
-`--subdirectory-filter`.  People expect the resulting repository to
-be smaller than the original, but you need a few more steps to
-actually make it smaller, because Git tries hard not to lose your
-objects until you tell it to.  First make sure that:
-
-* You really removed all variants of a filename, if a blob was moved
-  over its lifetime.  `git log --name-only --follow --all -- filename`
-  can help you find renames.
-
-* You really filtered all refs: use `--tag-name-filter cat -- --all`
-  when calling git-filter-branch.
-
-Then there are two ways to get a smaller repository.  A safer way is
-to clone, that keeps your original intact.
-
-* Clone it with `git clone file:///path/to/repo`.  The clone
-  will not have the removed objects.  See linkgit:git-clone[1].  (Note
-  that cloning with a plain path just hardlinks everything!)
-
-If you really don't want to clone it, for whatever reasons, check the
-following points instead (in this order).  This is a very destructive
-approach, so *make a backup* or go back to cloning it.  You have been
-warned.
-
-* Remove the original refs backed up by git-filter-branch: say `git
-  for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/original/ | xargs -n 1 git
-  update-ref -d`.
-
-* Expire all reflogs with `git reflog expire --expire=now --all`.
-
-* Garbage collect all unreferenced objects with `git gc --prune=now`
-  (or if your git-gc is not new enough to support arguments to
-  `--prune`, use `git repack -ad; git prune` instead).
