If you can wait another day or two, I'll have some code for you to
try out. I got the basic filtering working today via a new command
called fast-import-filter. The primary remaining issue is that
commit objects in the stream now refer to parents that no longer
exist in the stream so I need to patch those references to parents
that do exist there. Once that's going (hopefully tomorrow), I'll
release something for early adopters to test.

In case you're curious, I'm attaching the help for the new command.
I think it will rock! One particularly cool thing is that it will
work for any *-fast-export & *-fast-import combination - it's not
tied to one tool like git-filter-branch is.

Time for sleep now,
Ian C.
