Now that is indeed a bit excessive.

Hm, I've never used git filter-branch before, but according to the
manpage the original branches are still stored in .git/refs/original,
so git gc wouldn't remove the objects they reference. Also, there
might still be a reference in .git/refs/remotes. (Possibly
$ git branch -a
will show all of them to you (definitely the remote ones).)
Hope that helps.
