This is a platform-agnostic tool to handle git history rewriting.
It is recommended as a replacement for git-filter-branch in
the official Git docs: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch/en

Motivation for this change

Needed git-filter-repo as a replacement for bfg on macOS and Linux

  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
