My response to those people who might shout is that this is merely a step to complete a _new_ program that was not in _any_ released version to make it feature complete. You do not have to even pretend that filter-branch did not exist before -- it actually didn't. The new part might be buggier than other parts, but that's the same way as any other software development process. If the new 'map' does not work as advertised there is always 1.5.3.1.

Thanks.
