The intent of this particular call to 'git read-tree' was to fill an
index. But in fact, it only allocated an empty index. Later in the
program, the index is filled anyway by calling read-tree with specific
commits, and considering that elsewhere the index is even removed (i.e.,
it is not relied upon that the index file exists), this first call of
read-tree is completely redundant.

If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.
The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.
On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.

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.

Handling $filter_subdir in the usual way requires a separate case at
every use, because the variable is empty when unused.
Furthermore, --subdirectory-filter supplies its own '--', and if the user
provided one himself, such as in
git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter subdir -- --all -- subdir/file
an extra '--' was used as path filter in the call to git-rev-list that
determines the commits that shall be rewritten.
To keep the argument handling sane, we filter $@ to contain only the
non-revision arguments, and store all revisions in $ref_args. The
$ref_args are easy to handle since only the SHA1s are needed; the
actual branch names have already been stored in $tempdir/heads at this
point.
An extra separating -- is only required if the user did not provide
any non-revision arguments, as the latter disambiguate the
$filter_subdir following after them (or fail earlier because they are
ambiguous themselves).
Thanks to Johannes Sixt for suggesting this solution.

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

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

* js/filter-branch-submodule:
filter-branch: do not consider diverging submodules a 'dirty worktree'
filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositories
At the end of filter-branch in a non-bare repository, the work tree is
updated with "read-tree -m -u HEAD", to carry the change forward in case
the current branch was rewritten. In order to avoid losing any local
change during this step, filter-branch refuses to work when there are
local changes in the work tree.
This "read-tree -m -u HEAD" operation does not affect what commit is
checked out in a submodule (iow, it does not touch .git/HEAD in a
submodule checkout), and checking if there is any local change to the
submodule is not useful.
Staged submodules _are_ considered to be 'dirty', however, as the
"read-tree -m -u HEAD" could result in loss of staged information
otherwise.

When git filter-branch is run on a bare repository, it prints out a fatal
error message:
$ git filter-branch branch

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.

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 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.)

filter-branch tries to restore "old" copies of some
environment variables by using the construct:
unset var
test -z "$old_var" || var="$old_var" && export var
This is just wrong. AND-list and OR-list operators && and || have equal
precedence and they bind left to right. The second term, var="$old"
assignment always succeeds, so we always end up exporting var.
On bash and dash, exporting an unset variable has no effect. However, on
some shells (such as FreeBSD's /bin/sh), the shell exports the empty
value.
This manifested itself in this case as git-filter-branch setting
GIT_INDEX_FILE to the empty string, which in turn caused its call to
git-read-tree to fail, leaving the working tree pointing at the original
HEAD instead of the rewritten one.
To fix this, we change the short-circuit logic to better match the intent:
test -z "$old_var" || {
var="$old_var" && export var
}

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.

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

happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
