[Project Dead] Try git-filter-repo instead #378

Hey person coming here from SO/Google/DuckDuckGo or some other means.

You might have noticed that this project seems quite inactive. You may have even already spent several hours or days trying to re-write a massive amount of git history with filter-branch or bfg itself.

In case you also haven't found git-filter-repo yet give it a try.

Also if you're dead set on using bfg maybe try bfg-ish

Here's hoping this saves you the same days I lost

Another alternative is GitRewrite.
