Here's a good way to clean the repo up after filter-branch:
git remote rm origin
rm -rf .git/refs/original/ .git/refs/remotes/ .git/*_HEAD .git/logs/
git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/original/ | xargs -n1 --no-run-if-empty git update-ref -d
And then:
git -c gc.reflogExpire=0 -c gc.reflogExpireUnreachable=0 -c gc.rerereresolved=0 \
-c gc.rerereunresolved=0 -c gc.pruneExpire=now gc "$@" --aggressive
