If I understand correctly, you just need to get rid of that bad commit?
Can you copy the missing files (in the suitable tree structure) to
/tmp/missing/ and try this?
cg-admin-rewritehist -r EVILCOMMIT \
--tree-filter 'cp -r /tmp/missing/* .' \
--commit-filter \
'if [ "$GIT_COMMIT" = "EVILCOMMIT" ]; then
shift;
while [ -n "$1" ]; do
shift; echo "$1"; shift;
done;
else
git-commit-tree "$@";
fi' \
fixedbranch
(s/EVILCOMMIT/thesha1id/)
Now check if fixedbranch looks ok.
