[PATCH] filter-branch: use sh -c instead of eval

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

 



If filters use variables with the same name as variables
used in the script the script breaks.  Executing the filters
in a separate process prevents accidential modification of
the variables in the main process.

This one goes on top of the last patch, adding the < /dev/null.

Example:
% git filter-branch --tree-filter 'commit=foo' bar 
94ddd5151901a2b62820facc1bcf578abf842c8a (1/2) fatal: ambiguous argument 'foo': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

 # Filters
 # ~~~~~~~
 # The filters are applied in the order as listed below. The COMMAND
-# argument is always evaluated in shell using the 'eval' command.
-# The $GIT_COMMIT environment variable is permanently set to contain
-# the id of the commit being rewritten. The author/committer environment
+# argument is always evaluated in shell using sh -c "$filter".  The
+# $GIT_COMMIT environment variable is permanently set to contain the id
+# of the commit being rewritten. The author/committer environment
 # variables are set before the first filter is run.
 #
 # A 'map' function is available that takes an "original sha1 id" argument
