Interesting idea. I'll see if I can make the conversion routine do that.
TBH I have a horrid feeling that this is going to be beyond git rewrite
-branch, at least in the mode it is used in today.
It seems that it is possible, after a fashion.
The downside is that either _all_ symlinks (which end up in the
output) get
flattened or some sort of black/whitelisting is needed in the conversion
scripts themselves (potentially leading to issues or discontinuities) as
new stuff arrives).
It isn't possible AFAICT tell if a symlink points to something outside of
the converted set of paths and adjust, at least not without an
unreasonable
amount of overhead on each commit during the rewrite.
Since this new file would be the first symlink in the converted repo I
took
the former approach in my lash up to try it out
Ack, sounds good.
which was essentially to
insert the below script into the middle of the "git ls-files | rewrite
-paths.sed" pipeline which is called by git filter-branch --index-filter.
Not pretty but it does seem to work.
I want to avoid switching to --tree-filter if at all possible because it
checks out the tree and is therefore a _little_ I/O intensive ;-)
Thanks for your work on this, so what does this mean for moving forward
with the patch-set I posted. Can this be merged now ? And if not what
are we waiting for ?
I thought you were sending another version using "linux-event-codes.h."
Yes I can do that if people want me to, I am / was waiting for things
to settle down first. So if you want a v2 series with linux-event-codes.h
and everything else unchanged, let me know and I'll do so.
Anyway, for the series for DT:

Thanks,
