I'm considering doing this, and just replace the published repository with the "fixed" one (and fix-up all my clonings of it). I'm having some problems digesting the git-filter-branch manual page though--is there an easy way of automating the process, given that I now have a "grafts" file that expresses what I would like git-filter-branch to do (I guess it would have to work backwards changing the merge points, to be able to find all the revisions under the names I've used in the grafts file)?
