We've had problems with Solaris tr before, but usually around NULs or the use of brackets. But according to 40a7ce6 (tr portability fixes, 2008-03-12), filter-branch is already doing it the portable way. If you apply this patch, does your filter-branch work? diff --git a/git-filter-branch.sh b/git-filter-branch.sh index 178e453..58b1d69 100755 --- a/git-filter-branch.sh +++ b/git-filter-branch.sh @@ -68,8 +68,8 @@ set_ident () { # "author" or "committer set_ident () { - lid="$(echo "$1" | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]")" - uid="$(echo "$1" | tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]")" + lid="$(echo "$1" | tr ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)" + uid="$(echo "$1" | tr abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)" pick_id_script=' /^'$lid' /{ s/'\''/'\''\\'\'\''/g That seems like crazy overkill, but it at least will let us double-check that the tr sequences are the problem. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
