 +The `--env-filter` option can be used to modify committer and/or author
+identity.  For example, if you found out that your commits have the wrong
+identity due to a misconfigured user.email, you can make a correction,
+before publishing the project, like this:
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------
+git filter-branch --env-filter '
+       if test "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "root@localhost"
+       then
+               GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=j...@example.com
+               export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
+       fi
+       if test "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "root@localhost"
+       then
+               GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=j...@example.com
+               export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
+       fi
+' -- --all
