I'd assume you'd keep a copy, modify it, and recommit it later.
This will be messy if you need multiple versions of the file, each with
the mods. In that case you might need to rebuild the repository: start
with a working copy of the whole repository just before the first time
the bad file was committed. Merge the diff that updated the file,
manually edit out the secret stuff, and commit. Repeat through every
revision of that file in every branch and tag.
