Subject: filter-branch: fix behaviour of '-k'

The option '-k' says that the given commit and _all_ of its ancestors
are kept as-is.

However, if a to-be-rewritten commit branched from an ancestor of an
ancestor of a commit given with '-k', filter-branch would fail.

Example:

	A - B
	  \
	    C

If filter-branch was called with '-k B -s C', it would actually keep
B (and A as its parent), but would rewrite C, and its parent.

Noticed by Johannes Sixt.
