Even less interactive:

    git filter-branch \
        --prune-empty \
        --index-filter \
            'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch common/libcommon.a.*' \
        9df2cfb32..HEAD

This rewrites the current branch to a state where the files were never
added, and removes the now-empty correction commits. The SHA1 sums in
the new branch are different, but as the commit contents are identical,
rebasing feature branches then goes smoothly even from the gitlab GUI.

If you rebased a branch containing the offending commits on top of a
cleaned one, this generates four commits adding and removing the files
with no further changes, and the filter-branch commit above then reduces
these to no-ops and removes the commits.

A simple test in gitlab *merge request is descended from e1925b89c"
could identify merge requests that would need to be rewritten.
