Just a few minutes after you posted this patch, I posted a
nearly-identical fix for the same issue:

  http://marc.info/?l=git&m=123368695831812&w=2

(My patch includes a test case, too, but it's not very important.)

This raises another interesting question: Why doesn't 'git
filter-branch' actually check whether subcommands succeed?

Cheers,
Eric
