I wrote a program called "graft-ripple", that takes a commit, and
rewrites the current branch's history to reflect as if it started at
that commit.

It doesn't ever actually work with diffs or anything, it just reads
commits and trees and recreates them.

It's in the list archives, but I appear to have deleted it when I was
cleaning up my archives.
