Being only a basic Git user, I need your experience here: how practical is rebasing to remove a commit message or an e-mail address from a commit two years ago?
Technically it's completely trivial and possible to automate.
Everyone pulling the repository will have to deal with the result: they will need to manually reconcile the new and old state via a rebase or merge. This is something that's part of the workflow of some large repositories.
The result is somewhat more painful to work with, but that's a workflow and policy issue rather than a technical one ...
This is totally impractical. Suggesting that rebasing larger git repositories is feasible in practise is nonsense.
