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...

But yes, I believe filter-branch will only change that specific commit (and
if the change is not added to the next commit, it is then deleted).
