Currently, the help for git filter-branch refers users of --env-filter
to git-commit for information about environment variables affecting
commits. However, this information is not contained in the git-commit
help, but is very explicitly detailed in git-commit-tree.

Was there something disagreeable about this patch, or did it just get lost? 

I'd like to help make it easier for others who might find themselves on a 
hunt for the right environment variables for --env-filter like I was.

I'm guessing it just got lost; the patch looks good to me, and I think
it makes for a nice improvement for folks trying to find the
information they need.
