t7003-filter-branch.sh had a make_commit() function that was identical
to test_commit() in test-lib.sh except that it used tr to create a
lowercase file name from the uppercase branch name instead of
appending ".t".
Not only is this unneeded code duplication, it also was something
simply waiting to fail on case-insensitive file systems. So replace
all uses of make_commit with test_commit.
While we're editing the setup, chain it together with && so that
failures early in the sequence don't get lost and add a commit graph.

The test would not fail if the filtering failed to do anything, since
in
test -z "$(git diff HEAD directorymoved:newsubdir)"'
'directorymoved:newsubdir' is not valid, so git-diff fails without
printing anything on stdout. But then the exit status of git-diff is

2) it is possible to replace submodule revision by direct index

Since a0e4639 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12) git-filter-branch has done
nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.
However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in
other tasks. For example, if you want to split out a subset of files
from your history, you would typically call
git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>
But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit
that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be
rewritten and the ref remains untouched.
The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just
introduce an option that enables it independently.

9273b56 (filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositories, 2009-02-03)
fixed a missing check of return status from an underlying command in
git-filter-branch, but there still are places that do not check errors.
For example, the command does not pay attention to the exit status of the
command given by --commit-filter. It should abort in such a case.
This attempts to fix all the remaining places that fails to checks errors.
In two places, I've had to break apart pipelines in order to check the

filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositories
When git filter-branch is run on a bare repository, it prints out a fatal
error message:
$ git filter-branch branch
Rewrite 476c4839280c219c2317376b661d9d95c1727fc3 (9/9)
WARNING: Ref 'refs/heads/branch' is unchanged
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree
Note that this fatal error message doesn't prevent git filter-branch from
exiting successfully. (Why doesn't git filter-branch actually exit with an
error when a shell command fails? I'm not sure why it was designed this
way.)
This error message is caused by the following section of code at the end of
git-filter-branch.sh:
if [ "$(is_bare_repository)" = false ]; then
unset GIT_DIR GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_INDEX_FILE
test -z "$ORIG_GIT_DIR" || {
GIT_DIR="$ORIG_GIT_DIR" && export GIT_DIR
}
... elided ...
git read-tree -u -m HEAD
fi
The problem is the call to $(is_bare_repository), which is made before
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are restored. This call always returns "false",
even when we're running in a bare repository. But this means that we will
attempt to call 'git read-tree' even in a bare repository, which will fail
and print an error.
This patch modifies git-filter-branch.sh to restore the original
environment variables before trying to call is_bare_repository.

git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from

The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to

The tag rewriting code used a 'sed' expression to substitute the new tag

The previous ancestor discovery code failed on any refs that are
(pre-rewrite) ancestors of commits marked for rewriting. This means
that in a situation
A -- B(topic) -- C(master)
where B is dropped by --subdirectory-filter pruning, the 'topic' was
not moved up to A as intended, but left unrewritten because we asked
about 'git rev-list ^master topic', which does not return anything.
Instead, we use the straightforward
git rev-list -1 $ref -- $filter_subdir
to find the right ancestor. To justify this, note that the nearest
ancestor is unique: We use the output of
git rev-list --parents -- $filter_subdir
to rewrite commits in the first pass, before any ref rewriting. If B
is a non-merge commit, the only candidate is its parent. If it is a
merge, there are two cases:
- All sides of the merge bring the same subdirectory contents. Then
rev-list already pruned away the merge in favour for just one of its
parents, so there is only one candidate.
- Some merge sides, or the merge outcome, differ. Then the merge is
not pruned and can be rewritten directly.
So it is always safe to use rev-list -1.

This extends the --subdirectory-filter test in t7003 to demonstrate a
rewriting bug: when rewriting two refs A and B such that B is an
ancestor of A, it fails to rewrite B.
The underlying issue is that the rev-list invocation at
git-filter-branch.sh:332 more or less boils down to
git rev-list B --boundary ^A
which outputs nothing because B is an ancestor of A.

This reverts commit cfabd6eee1. I had
implemented it without understanding what --full-history does. Consider
this history:
C--M--N
/ / /
A--B /
\ /
D-/
where B and C modify a path, X, in the same way so that the result is
identical, and D does not modify it at all. With the path limiter X and
without --full-history this is simplified to
A--B
i.e. only one of the paths via B or C is chosen. I had assumed that
--full-history would keep both paths like this
C--M
/ /
A--B
removing the path via D; but in fact it keeps the entire history.
Currently, git does not have the capability to simplify to this
intermediary case. However, the other extreme to keep the entire history
is not wanted either in usual cases. I think we can expect that histories
like the above are rare, and in the usual cases we want a simplified
history. So let's remove --full-history again.
(Concerning t7003, subsequent tests depend on what the test case sets up,
so we can't just back out the entire test case.)

Commit d89c1df (filter-branch: don't use xargs -0, 2008-03-12) replaced a
'ls-files | xargs rm' pipeline by 'git clean'. 'git clean' however does
not recurse and remove directories by default.
Now, consider a tree-filter that renames a directory.
1. For the first commit everything works as expected
2. Then filter-branch checks out the files for the next commit. This
leaves the new directory behind because there is no real "branch
switching" involved that would notice that the directory can be
removed.
3. Then filter-branch invokes 'git clean' to remove exactly those
left-overs. But here it does not remove the directory.
4. The next tree-filter does not work as expected because there already
exists a directory with the new name.
Just add -d to 'git clean', so that empty directories are removed.

If b is a directory then 'mv a b' is not a plain "rename", but really a

There's also some cleanup in the corresponding "rename file" test to avoid
spurious shell syntax errors and "ambigous ref" error from 'git show' (but
these should show up only if the test would fail anyway). Plus we also

Specifying character ranges in tr differs between System V
and POSIX. In System V, brackets are required (e.g.,
'[A-Z]'), whereas in POSIX they are not.
We can mostly get around this by just using the bracket form
for both sets, as in:
tr '[A-Z] '[a-z]'
in which case POSIX interpets this as "'[' becomes '['",
which is OK.
However, this doesn't work with multiple sequences, like:
# rot13
tr '[A-Z][a-z]' '[N-Z][A-M][n-z][a-m]'
where the POSIX version does not behave the same as the
System V version. In this case, we must simply enumerate the
sequence.
This patch fixes problematic uses of tr in git scripts and
test scripts in one of three ways:
- if a single sequence, make sure it uses brackets
- if multiple sequences, enumerate
- if extra brackets (e.g., tr '[A]' 'a'), eliminate
brackets

All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten. Yes,
in-place. If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in
refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the
reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than

A common mistake is to provide a filter which fails unwantedly. For

When $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL is not "xyz", the test fails, and consequently
the whole filter has a non-zero exit status. However, as demonstrated
in this example, filter-branch would just stop, and the user would be
none the wiser.
Also, a failing msg-filter would not have been caught, as was the

A subset of commits in a branch used to be specified by options (-k, -r)
as well as the branch tip itself (-s). It is more natural (for git users)
to specify revision ranges like 'master..next' instead. This makes it so.
If no range is specified it defaults to 'HEAD'.
As a consequence, the new name of the filtered branch must be the first

The tip of the branch that gets filtered is implied: It is the first
