For something like that you could use git-filter-branch and probably the equivalent in bzr (there *is* an equivalent, but I think it requires converting to fastimport format to use). To avoid the rebase issue, you'd maybe merge the resulting branch rather than rebase. git-filter-branch is very fast, although bzr's equivalent would not be if I'm correct about converting to fastimport format. But it could probably be made to be fast.
