Implement git-filter-branch facility

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to see a git-filter-branch gui facility, because of more
reasons, it can be used in more cases, but when you would like to overwrite
the history or simply to run a script for more than one (and the oldest
commit), we could use this facility for these purposes.

I guess a separate option in the popup window is enough, and then the
related options of this command with a checkbox/selectbox/etc..

I don't think filter-branch would benefit much from a GUI, since it's *too 
flexible* to be mapped to a 
graphical interface. It has lots of unrelated parameters and most of the time 
you use a *script* as a 
parameter. I wouldn't want to enter a script in a GUI...

Wut ? The only thing you need in the script way to use a filedialog 
widget/control to
select the script to run, it'very simple, trivial and KISS.

It would be very helpful otherwise, just think for that e.g., you need to 
change a
name for something else in the whole history by all means, or another typical
example, when you try to correct the line endings in the whole history, 

I couldn't get your point here, sorry, and I was just reported, after so much 
users
gave me this feedback as well.
