But isn't that inconsistent with "git filter-branch" does _not_ work on HEAD by default and instead prints out usage information? If I do: git filter-branch -d /tmp/git_temp and it is successful, I think I would also expect this to succeed: git filter-branch So, I think the "operates on HEAD" by default is consistent with what other git tools do, but I think it is not consistent for filter-branch to sometimes operate on HEAD by default and sometimes error with usage information. Disclaimer: I have only used filter-branch for two tasks. -brandon - 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
