Oh yeah, now we're cookin' with gas:

% git filter-branch --index-filter 'git-ls-files sensitive_stuff | xargs -d "\n" git-update-index --remove' HEAD
Rewrite 6711f6a50605918326f67ca0c3402eab9a4c8571 (8/8)
Ref 'refs/heads/master' was rewritten

These refs were rewritten:
blake^master ~*/sensitive.clone ls
B  D

Excellent.

Thanks for the help.
