Elijah Newren, Sun, Oct 07, 2007 23:23:59 +0200:

git-filter-branch makes a backup of your original references:

$ git filter-branch --help
...
       Always verify that the rewritten version is correct: The original refs,
       if different from the rewritten ones, will be stored in the namespace
       refs/original/.
...

These will keep your big files in repository.
