I think git filter-branch actually checks out each "vanilla" commit from the original branch to apply the given changes, and doesn't base them on the already-changed commits:

Am I missing something? Have you actually verified this or is it just a guess? ;)

Either way, is it that terrible to make sure the .SRCINFO is up to date? If there is already one, it *should* just replace it with an identical copy... resulting in no diff. And if there is a diff, that means something once went wrong...
No, of course the change *does* make sense. Sorry for not making this more clear in my answer. I was mainly trying to figure out if I have to find out how I could force-push to correct anything that's been pushed wrong, and then found out it's hopefully not necessary to do so.
