I can pin down what my gut says:

- the old commits still exist, so the links are not invalid
- the commit message is signed off as is
- the process to find the correct new SHA1 is not straight-forward, i.e.
  one would need to introduce a recursion where now suffices a simple
  linear loop.

Ciao,
