As I mentioned earlier there is also the route of importing the
feature branch into the non-filtered repository (where the marks files
are "intact") and then transplanting the branch (with all its history
etc.) to the rewritten repository via a git rebase. It's a bit more
laborious and you should know what you're doing, but I've done it
before. We've rewritten both the OP2 and the PyOP2 repositories
halfway through the project. It's just not something I would want to
ask a git novice to do by themselves.
