You place the tree filter in double-quotes. Hence, orig_head will be
interpolated on the filter-branch command line. You don't need to export it.
What is the purpose of the check in the last line?
As long as you have another command after the "} || : &&", you can just
write "}" instead.
You must not change the directory without changing back. Use a sub-shell.
I'm not sure whether it's worth catering for this use-case anyway.
Replacing a submodule commit should really be done only in the
--index-filter. The tree that --tree-filter checks out is intended only as
a temporary scratch area. It is not intended as a full worktree. In
particular, since 'submodule update --init' changes the configuration, it
is extremly dangerous to call from a filter.
