Sorry to be a bit thick, but I'm very new to git. Can you spell it out for me? Where's that going to get the branch from? Where will the rewritten one end up? And where's the backup old versions of what is rewritten going to end up?

It looks very clever, like it might be a way of accessing filtering one repository into another, but I haven't quite twigged how this all works yet.
