Don't try to "round-trip" revisions that you are filtering. You are
changing things, and calling them the same is a good way to end up with
corruption.

That said, I believe there is 'bzr filter-branch' as part of the
fast-export suite, which will help you to generate a new history that
looks a lot like the old one, but has bits pruned out, etc.
