Would be perfect if they have a filter to replace the real email in past commits also. Should be pretty easy.

Delete is the only real option now as far as I see.

I don't know if any of the other ones do that. It's always good to have a second option.

Replacing email addresses in past commits means rewriting history, which will break everyone else's copy of the repo.

None of them do what you want.
