Hi, I am trying to use the script found on the following page: http://ebixio.com/blog/2009/10/15/git-filter-branch-incantations/ The idea is to add a missing parent to a certain commit. I wrote the following bash script: #!/bin/sh die () { echo >&2 "$@" exit 1 } [ "$#" -eq 3 ] || die "usage: add_parent <commit_to_update> <present_parent> <parent_to_add>" git filter-branch --parent-filter \ 'test $GIT_COMMIT = $1 && \ echo "-p $2 -p $3" \ || cat' \ --tag-name-filter 'cat' \ $2..master When I try to use it an a test repository, I get the following error: ./add_parent.sh ad12d20974cad91ddedd055f5335b7471e48dd1d 1541f3ae456556edc7e15cead1ae76f470961be0 88b5d6f190f9d7135148c67c4d949c0c06e179ff Rewrite ad12d20974cad91ddedd055f5335b7471e48dd1d (1/1)test: 3: =: argument expected I am using git version 1.7.0.2. Any help appreciated!
