It does not apply to blobs recorded in its index. Cannot fall back to three-way merge. After realizing that the common lines were prefixed with a double space, and applying my l33t patch m0nkey ski77z, I could verify that it works as expected (in addition to looking at the patch and deeming it correct). > diff --git a/t/t7003-filter-branch.sh b/t/t7003-filter-branch.sh > index 56b5ecc..446700b 100755 > --- a/t/t7003-filter-branch.sh > +++ b/t/t7003-filter-branch.sh > @@ -48,6 +48,15 @@ test_expect_success 'result is really identical' ' > test $H = $(git rev-parse HEAD) > ' > > +TRASHDIR=$(pwd) > +test_expect_success 'correct GIT_DIR while using -d' ' > + mkdir drepo && cd drepo && git init && make_commit drepo && I usually prefer those to be on one line, each. > + git filter-branch -d "$TRASHDIR/dfoo" \ > + --index-filter "cp \"$TRASHDIR\"/dfoo/backup-refs \"$TRASHDIR\"" > && > + cd .. && We try to avoid cd'ing back, by using constructs like this: (cd drepo && ... ) && After those two (maybe three) changes and your SOB: ACK. BTW the reason I wanted to test this thing is that I suspected that you meant test_commit instead of make_commit. But then, I realized that there exists a make_commit in t7003... which shares the shortcoming of our previous implementation of test_commit in that it adds ambiguities on case-insensitive filesystems. So I _had_ to look who introduced make_commit: $ git blame -L '/make_commit/,/}/' t/t7003* Making a fool out of yourself -- priceless.
