"Do you find this useful" is a loaded question.

I do it all the time with git-rebase, so the need to remove a
botched commit from the history and rebuild the remainder is
certainly there, meaning "what your patch does IS useful".

I do it all the time with git-rebase, so I personally do not
need a new tool to do this, meaning "your patch is not useful to
me".

When I find master~8 and master~9 to be undesirable, I would do:

	$ git rebase --onto master~10 master~8

which rebuilds master~7 and onward on top of master~10, thereby
dropping two commits.
