+Rewrites the current Git branch using git filter-branch to change the Author/Committer name and/or email address
+
+For each commit in the current branch history, if both:
+
+	- the Author or Committer Name matches the <old_name>
+    - the Author or Committer Email matches the <old_email>
+
+then both the Author and Committer names and emails are set to <new_name> and <new_email>
+
+
+Must be called from the top level directory of the repository
+
+You may still see the old name/email in the local repo's git log, test by cloning to a new repo and if happy then park the old checkout and checkout clean
+
+
+DANGER: this rewrites Git history.
+        Do not use this carelessly as it rewrites Git history.
+        Always have a backup.
+        Do not do this on pushed branches unless you are an Expert and intend to
+
+If there is already a git filter-branch rewrite backup in .git/refs/original, git filter-branch will refused to proceed - specify \$FORCE_GIT_REWRITE=1 in the environment to force the rewrite
