Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-filter-branch: Move note about effect of removing commits

From: Andreas Schwab <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:55:08 +0200

The note that explains that changes introduced by removed commits are
preserved should be placed directly after the paragraph that describes
such commits removal.  Otherwise the reference to "the commits" appears
out of context.

 example, 'git svn-id' strings in a repository created by 'git svn' can
 be removed this way:
