Now that is indeed a bit excessive. |

Hm, I've never used git filter-branch before, but according to the |
| 34 |
manpage the original branches are still stored in .git/refs/original, |
| 35 |
so git gc wouldn't remove the objects they reference. Also, there |
| 36 |
might still be a reference in .git/refs/remotes. (Possibly |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
$ git branch -a |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
will show all of them to you (definitely the remote ones).) |

Hope that helps. |
