filter-branch: add an example how to add ACKs to a range of commits

echo "Acked-by: Bugs Bunny <bunny@bugzilla.org>"

*NOTE* the changes introduced by the commits, and which are not reverted
by subsequent commits, will still be in the rewritten branch. If you want
to throw out _changes_ together with the commits, you should use the
