This does not work as I'd expected it: I can't successfully say:

   git-filter-branch master

It tells me:

   Which ref do you want to rewrite?

This logic seems to be borked, and I don't grok it. I was trying this:

   git-filter-branch -- --since=2007.01.10 \
		refs/heads/topic refs/heads/master

where topic's last change is from before 2007.01.10, i.e. it is not
among the rewritten commits. And I get this:

WARNING: Ref 'refs/heads/master' is unchanged
WARNING: 'refs/heads/topic' was rewritten into multiple commits:
329325526647503382ae7dee41c12fe6b81bbe43
2bdf3349b76f72ceb71755c75a555d60bc7c73aa
ce6c9dfeac5ddbd64da2d9360d6552717df81d1f

The first 2 of these 3 sha1s happen to be merge bases of topic and
master, but none of them appear anywhere in

   git rev-list --parents --boundary --since=2007.07.10 \
		refs/heads/topic refs/heads/master

What's up?
