Clever, if a bit filthy ;-). We expect to see something like
M 100644 dead...beef files_subtree/bar
M 100755 c0f.....fee files_subtree/foo
in the --no-data output, and the assumption here is that 40-hex
followed by " files_subtree/" would never appear anywhere in the
stream other than these tree dump, so the sed script can rewrite
the above to
M 100644 dead...beef bar
M 100755 c0f.....fee foo
by getting rid of the leading directory name (plus the slash at the
end).
Thanks.
