[PATCH] contrib/subtree: Split history with empty trees correctly (was: Re: BUG: git subtree split gets confused on removed and readded directory)

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

 



'git subtree split' will fail if the history of the subtree has empty
tree commits (or trees that are considered empty, such as submodules).
This fix keeps track of this condition and correctly follows the history
over such commits.
