A few performance > issues were raised and fixed: The fix to git-filter-branch I posted is tested and obviously necessary (without it, git-filter-branch will only work if GIT_DIR is set previously to calling it). Also documentation and usage of git-filter-branch are out of kilter, the given examples for wiping a file from history don't work, specifing the refs to work on reacts impredictably (it is not clear what gets accepted and what not, and one seemingly has to always specify "HEAD" which is basically ignored). Could you ask Dscho to consider adding cases based on the documentation to the test suite? That should help weed out the worst discrepances. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
