The previous code failed on any refs that are (pre-rewrite) ancestors of commits marked for rewriting. This means that in a situation A -- B(topic) -- C(master) where B is dropped by --subdirectory-filter pruning, the 'topic' is not moved up to A as intended, but left unrewritten. Fix this by using a more stupid approach: we let 'rev-list -1' figure out a nearby ancestor, which handles the pruning automatically. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I guarded it with a $filter_subdir check to not cause any unintended harm. It might be useful in some border cases of rev-list arguments given to filter-branch too, but I can't figure out a safe way to handle that. Either way, this fixes the problem. - Thomas git-filter-branch.sh | 27 +++++++++++---------------- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-filter-branch.sh b/git-filter-branch.sh index a324cf0..7924aa1 100755 --- a/git-filter-branch.sh +++ b/git-filter-branch.sh @@ -317,24 +317,19 @@ done <../revs # In case of a subdirectory filter, it is possible that a specified head # is not in the set of rewritten commits, because it was pruned by the -# revision walker.
