My attempts at making git-filter-branch work on a limited list of commits

gistfile1.txt

I patched git-filter-branch to see what command where executed (so mainly I added set -x in a few spots)

Here are my last 10 commits :

Which ref do you want to rewrite?

(here rev-parse can't find the ref, so I use glob=pattern to force it)

(this gives me a list of the four top commits, so it looks like the script accepted to limit the list with the min commit, but not with the max)

I tried some other things (like --until, --since), but I can't see how I could get git rev-list to receive something like commit1..commit2, which seems to be the only way to obtain a limited commit list.
