[PATCH v5 1/2] filter-branch: stop special-casing $filter_subdir argument

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

Here it is. The interdiff to your version is merely
