I tried to use "git replace --edit" today to repair a corrupted tree
that had an empty filename:
$ git replace --edit HEAD^{tree}
fatal: empty filename in tree entry
fatal: cat-file reported failure
Oops. One of the major purposes of the command is to repair broken
objects. This series introduces a "--raw" option to let you easily edit
the binary if need be.
The first two patches are unrelated cleanups I noticed in the area. The
third is refactoring, and the final one is the interesting bit.
There's a minor textual conflict in the documentation with
cc/replace-graft, but it's pretty straightforward to resolve.
[1/4]: replace: replace spaces with tabs in indentation
[2/4]: avoid double close of descriptors handed to run_command
[3/4]: replace: use argv_array in export_object
[4/4]: replace: add a --raw mode for --edit
