I missed sending out this email earlier, but v2.27.1 of git-filter-repo was released a week and a half ago. v2.27.0 accidentally broke the most prominent example in the README.md file; v2.27.1 fixes that bug /and/ makes sure that example is actually in the testsuite to prevent a repeat.

The public repo of filter-repo is at

    https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo

The tarballs can be found at:

    https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/releases

git-filter-repo can also be installed via a variety of package managers across Windows, Mac OS, or Linux (and maybe others)[1].
