A `--setup` step in `git filter-branch` makes it much easier to
define the initial values of variables used in the real filters.
Also sourcing/defining utility functions here instead of
`--env-filter` improves performance and minimizes clogging the

git-filter-branch requires the specification of a branch by one way or
another. If no branch appears to have been specified, we know the user
got the usage wrong but we don't know what they were trying to do ---
e.g. maybe they specified the ref to rewrite but in the wrong place.
In this case, just state that the branch specification is missing.

Previously, the git_commit_non_empty_tree function would always pass any
commit with no parents to git-commit-tree, regardless of whether the
tree was nonempty. The new commit would then be recorded in the
filter-branch revision map, and subsequent commits which leave the tree
untouched would be correctly filtered.
With this change, parentless commits with an empty tree are correctly
pruned, and an empty file is recorded in the revision map, signifying
that it was rewritten to "no commits." This works naturally with the
parent mapping for subsequent commits.

Commit 348d4f2 (filter-branch: skip index read/write when
possible, 2015-11-06) taught filter-branch to optimize out
the final "git write-tree" when we know we haven't touched
the tree with any of our filters. It does by simply putting
the literal text "$commit^{tree}" into the "$tree" variable,
avoiding a useless rev-parse call.
However, when we pass this to git_commit_non_empty_tree(),
it gets confused; it resolves "$commit^{tree}" itself, and
compares our string to the 40-hex sha1, which obviously
doesn't match. As a result, "--prune-empty" (or any custom
filter using git_commit_non_empty_tree) will fail to drop
an empty commit (when filter-branch is used without a tree
or index filter).
Let's resolve $tree to the 40-hex ourselves, so that
git_commit_non_empty_tree can work. Unfortunately, this is a
bit slower due to the extra process overhead:
$ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2 HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh
[...]
Test 348d4f2 HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------
7000.2: noop filter 3.76(0.24+0.26) 4.54(0.28+0.24) +20.7%
We could try to make git_commit_non_empty_tree more clever.
However, the value of $tree here is technically
user-visible. The user can provide arbitrary shell code at
this stage, which could itself have a similar assumption to
what is in git_commit_non_empty_tree. So the conservative
choice to fix this regression is to take the 20% hit and
give the pre-348d4f2 behavior. We still end up much faster
than before the optimization:
$ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2^ HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh
[...]
Test 348d4f2^ HEAD

'git filter-branch' fails complaining about an ambiguous argument, if
a tree-filter renames a path and the new pathname happens to match an
existing object name.
After the tree-filter has been applied, 'git filter-branch' looks for
changed paths by running:
git diff-index -r --name-only --ignore-submodules $commit
which then, because of the lack of disambiguating double-dash, can't
decide whether to treat '$commit' as revision or path and errors out.
Add that disambiguating double-dash after 'git diff-index's revision
argument to make sure that '$commit' is interpreted as a revision.

If the user specifies an index filter but not a tree filter,
filter-branch cleverly avoids checking out the tree
entirely. But we don't do the next level of optimization: if
you have no index or tree filter, we do not need to read the

This can greatly speed up cases where we are only changing
the commit objects (e.g., cementing a graft into place).

df062010 (filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed)

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Adding gpg
As a consequence, "filter-branch --msg-filter cat" (which should leave the
commit message unchanged) spills the signature (after the internal blank
line) into the original commit message.
The reason is that although the signature is indented, making the line a
whitespace only line, the "read" call is splitting the line based on
the shell's IFS, which defaults to <space><tab><newline>. The leading
space is consumed and $header_line is empty, causing the "skip header
lines" loop to exit.
The rest of the commit object is then re-used as the rewritten commit
message, causing the new message to include the signature of the
original commit.
Set IFS to an empty string for the "read" call, thus disabling the word
splitting, which causes $header_line to be set to the non-empty value ' '.
This allows the loop to fully consume the header lines before
emitting the original, intact commit message.

On some systems (like OS X), if sed encounters input without
a trailing newline, it will silently add it. As a result,
"git filter-branch" on such systems may silently rewrite
commit messages that omit a trailing newline. Even though
this is not something we generate ourselves with "git
commit", it's better for filter-branch to preserve the
original data as closely as possible.
We're using sed here only to strip the header fields from
the commit object. We can accomplish the same thing with a
shell loop. Since shell "read" calls are slow (usually one
syscall per byte), we use "cat" once we've skipped past the
header. Depending on the size of your commit messages, this
is probably faster (you pay the cost to fork, but then read
the data in saner-sized chunks). This idea is shamelessly
stolen from Junio.

When multiple parents of a merge commit get mapped to the same
commit, filter-branch used to pass all instances of the parent
commit to the parent and commit filters and to "git commit-tree" or
"git_commit_non_empty_tree".
This can often happen when extracting a small project from a large
repository; merges can join history with no commits on any branch
which affect the paths being retained. Once the intermediate
commits have been filtered out, all the immediate parents of the
merge commit can end up being mapped to the same commit - either the
original merge-base or an ancestor of it.
"git commit-tree" would display an error but write the commit with
the normalized parents in any case. "git_commit_non_empty_tree"
would fail to notice that the commit being made was in fact a
non-merge commit and would retain it even if a further pass with
"--prune-empty" would discard the commit as empty.
Ensure that duplicate parents are pruned before the parent filter to
make "--prune-empty" idempotent, removing all empty non-merge
commits in a singe pass.

Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index,
2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing
null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in
other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip
into the index (or worse, a tree).
Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that
contain null sha1s already, though. Until 4337b58, a common
way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's
index-filter to repair such broken entries. That now fails
when filter-branch tries to write out the index.
Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to
relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a
history.
It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit
at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ...
to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null
sha1s. That would be slightly safer, but requires some
specialized knowledge from the user. So let's set the
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out
the to-be-filtered trees. Advice on using filter-branch to
remove such entries already exists on places like
stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on
recent versions of git.
Further commands that touch the index will still notice and
fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries. A
filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all
will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only
on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but
this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the
problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

The first thing filter-branch does is to create a temporary
directory, either ".git-rewrite" in the current directory
(which may be the working tree or the repository if bare),
or in a directory specified by "-d". We then chdir to
$tempdir/t as our temporary working directory in which to run
tree filters.
After finishing the filter, we then attempt to go back to
the original directory with "cd ../..". This works in the
.git-rewrite case, but if "-d" is used, we end up in a
random directory. The only thing we do after this chdir is
to run git-read-tree, but that means that:
1. The working directory is not updated to reflect the
filtered history.
2. We dump random files into "$tempdir/.." (e.g., if you
use "-d /tmp/foo", we dump junk into /tmp).
Fix it by recording the full path to the original directory
and returning there explicitly.

This saves us some code, but it also reduces the number of

We also tweak one of the tests in t7003 to double-check that

According to `git help filter-branch':

...
You can use the _map_ convenience function in this filter,

...
However, it turns out that `map' hasn't been usable because it depends
on the variable `workdir', which is not propogated to the environment
of the shell that runs the commit-filter <command> because the
shell is created via a simple-command rather than a compound-command
subshell:
@SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \
$(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
die "could not write rewritten commit"
One solution is simply to export `workdir'. However, it seems rather
heavy-handed to export `workdir' to the environments of all commands,
so instead this commit exports `workdir' for only the duration of the
shell command in question:

If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.
The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.
On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.

nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.
However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in

git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>
But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit

Handling $filter_subdir in the usual way requires a separate case at
every use, because the variable is empty when unused.
Furthermore, --subdirectory-filter supplies its own '--', and if the user
provided one himself, such as in
git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter subdir -- --all -- subdir/file
an extra '--' was used as path filter in the call to git-rev-list that
determines the commits that shall be rewritten.
To keep the argument handling sane, we filter $@ to contain only the
non-revision arguments, and store all revisions in $ref_args. The
$ref_args are easy to handle since only the SHA1s are needed; the
actual branch names have already been stored in $tempdir/heads at this
point.
An extra separating -- is only required if the user did not provide
any non-revision arguments, as the latter disambiguate the
$filter_subdir following after them (or fail earlier because they are
ambiguous themselves).

local changes in the work tree.
This "read-tree -m -u HEAD" operation does not affect what commit is
checked out in a submodule (iow, it does not touch .git/HEAD in a
submodule checkout), and checking if there is any local change to the

The problem is the call to $(is_bare_repository), which is made before
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are restored. This call always returns "false",

git rev-list --parents -- $filter_subdir
to rewrite commits in the first pass, before any ref rewriting. If B
is a non-merge commit, the only candidate is its parent. If it is a
merge, there are two cases:
- All sides of the merge bring the same subdirectory contents. Then
rev-list already pruned away the merge in favour for just one of its
parents, so there is only one candidate.
- Some merge sides, or the merge outcome, differ. Then the merge is
not pruned and can be rewritten directly.
So it is always safe to use rev-list -1.

Previously, git-filter-branch failed if it attempted to update an
annotated tag. Now we ignore this condition if --tag-name-filter is
given, so that we can later rewrite the tag. If no such option was
provided, we warn the user that he might want to run with
"--tag-name-filter cat" to achieve the intended effect.

Commit 46eb449c restricted git-filter-branch to non-bare repositories
unnecessarily; git-filter-branch can work on bare repositories just
fine.

This reverts commit cfabd6eee1. I had
implemented it without understanding what --full-history does. Consider
this history:
C--M--N
/ / /
A--B /
\ /
D-/
where B and C modify a path, X, in the same way so that the result is
identical, and D does not modify it at all. With the path limiter X and
without --full-history this is simplified to
A--B
i.e. only one of the paths via B or C is chosen. I had assumed that
--full-history would keep both paths like this
C--M
/ /
A--B
removing the path via D; but in fact it keeps the entire history.
Currently, git does not have the capability to simplify to this
intermediary case. However, the other extreme to keep the entire history
is not wanted either in usual cases. I think we can expect that histories
like the above are rare, and in the usual cases we want a simplified
history. So let's remove --full-history again.
(Concerning t7003, subsequent tests depend on what the test case sets up,
so we can't just back out the entire test case.)

filter-branch tries to restore "old" copies of some
environment variables by using the construct:
unset var
test -z "$old_var" || var="$old_var" && export var
This is just wrong. AND-list and OR-list operators && and || have equal
precedence and they bind left to right. The second term, var="$old"
assignment always succeeds, so we always end up exporting var.
On bash and dash, exporting an unset variable has no effect. However, on
some shells (such as FreeBSD's /bin/sh), the shell exports the empty
value.
This manifested itself in this case as git-filter-branch setting
GIT_INDEX_FILE to the empty string, which in turn caused its call to
git-read-tree to fail, leaving the working tree pointing at the original
HEAD instead of the rewritten one.
To fix this, we change the short-circuit logic to better match the intent:
test -z "$old_var" || {
var="$old_var" && export var
}

Commit d89c1df (filter-branch: don't use xargs -0, 2008-03-12) replaced a
'ls-files | xargs rm' pipeline by 'git clean'. 'git clean' however does
not recurse and remove directories by default.
Now, consider a tree-filter that renames a directory.
1. For the first commit everything works as expected
2. Then filter-branch checks out the files for the next commit. This
leaves the new directory behind because there is no real "branch
switching" involved that would notice that the directory can be
removed.
3. Then filter-branch invokes 'git clean' to remove exactly those
left-overs. But here it does not remove the directory.
4. The next tree-filter does not work as expected because there already
exists a directory with the new name.
Just add -d to 'git clean', so that empty directories are removed.

Add support for creating a new tag object and retaining the tag message,
author, and date when rewriting tags. The gpg signature, if one exists,
will be stripped.
This adds nearly proper tag name filtering to filter-branch. Proper tag
name filtering would include the ability to change the tagger, tag date,
tag message, and _not_ strip a gpg signature if the tag did not change.

On some systems, 'sh' isn't very friendly. In particular,
t7003 fails on Solaris because it doesn't understand $().
Instead, use the specified SHELL_PATH to run shell code.

Some versions of xargs don't understand "-0"; fortunately in
