All filters, except the commit filter, are evaluated. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> --- I tried to extract the magic of the "remove commit" example into a function "skip_commit", since I guess it will be a common operation. Alas, since the commit filter has to be "sh -c"ed to get arguments, I do not see any way to use a convenience function in there, short of sourcing a helper file. Does anybody see a better way?
