addrev warning

[Richard Levitte]

Yes.

I propose telling git to shut up, i.e. FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING=1
Our use of git-filter-branch isn't one that will generate a gotcha, or
we would have seen that a long time ago...  in other words, we treat
it gently.

I was looking at git-filter-repo, but realised that it's not a
standard git thing, so if we changed addrev to use that instead, we'd
have addrev starting to fail completely for everyone that hasn't
installed that one yet.  I'm not prepared to spring that surprise on
anyone.

Cheers,
Richard
