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
processes we start for each filtered commit. Since we can
parse both author and committer in the same sed invocation,
we save one process. And since the new interface avoids tr,
we save 4 processes.
It also avoids using "tr", which has had some odd
portability problems reported with from Solaris's xpg6
version.
We also tweak one of the tests in t7003 to double-check that
we are properly exporting the variables (because test-lib.sh
exports GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, it will be automatically exported
in subprograms. We override this to make sure that
filter-branch handles it properly itself).

Filter-branch already requires that we have a clean work
tree before starting. However, it failed to refresh the
index before checking, which means it could be wrong in the
case of stat-dirtiness.
Instead of simply adding a call to refresh the index, let's
switch to using the require_clean_work_tree function
provided by git-sh-setup. It does exactly what we want, and
with fewer lines of code and more specific output messages.

According to `git help filter-branch':
--commit-filter <command>
...
You can use the _map_ convenience function in this filter,
and other convenience functions, too...
...
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:
workdir=$workdir @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \
$(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
die "could not write rewritten commit"

When git filter-branch is used to replace a submodule with another
content, it always fails on the first commit.
Consider a repository with submod directory containing a submodule. The
following command to remove the submodule and replace it with a file fails:
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf submod &&
git rm -q submod &&
mkdir submod &&
touch submod/file'
with an error:
error: submod: is a directory - add files inside instead
The reason is that git diff-index, which generates the first part of the
list of files updated by the tree filter, emits also the removed submodule
even if it was replaced by a real directory.

The intent of this particular call to 'git read-tree' was to fill an
index. But in fact, it only allocated an empty index. Later in the
program, the index is filled anyway by calling read-tree with specific
commits, and considering that elsewhere the index is even removed (i.e.,
it is not relied upon that the index file exists), this first call of
read-tree is completely redundant.

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.

Since a0e4639 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12) git-filter-branch has done
nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.
However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in
other tasks. For example, if you want to split out a subset of files
from your history, you would typically call
git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>
But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit
that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be
rewritten and the ref remains untouched.
The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just
introduce an option that enables it independently.

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).

At the end of filter-branch in a non-bare repository, the work tree is
updated with "read-tree -m -u HEAD", to carry the change forward in case
the current branch was rewritten. In order to avoid losing any local
change during this step, filter-branch refuses to work when there are
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
submodule is not useful.
Staged submodules _are_ considered to be 'dirty', however, as the
"read-tree -m -u HEAD" could result in loss of staged information

Note that this fatal error message doesn't prevent git filter-branch from
exiting successfully. (Why doesn't git filter-branch actually exit with an
error when a shell command fails? I'm not sure why it was designed this
way.)
This error message is caused by the following section of code at the end of
git-filter-branch.sh:
if [ "$(is_bare_repository)" = false ]; then
unset GIT_DIR GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_INDEX_FILE
test -z "$ORIG_GIT_DIR" || {
GIT_DIR="$ORIG_GIT_DIR" && export GIT_DIR
}
... elided ...
git read-tree -u -m HEAD
fi
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",
even when we're running in a bare repository. But this means that we will
attempt to call 'git read-tree' even in a bare repository, which will fail
and print an error.

environment variables before trying to call is_bare_repository.

The previous ancestor discovery 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' was
not moved up to A as intended, but left unrewritten because we asked
about 'git rev-list ^master topic', which does not return anything.
Instead, we use the straightforward
git rev-list -1 $ref -- $filter_subdir
to find the right ancestor. To justify this, note that the nearest
ancestor is unique: We use the output of
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.

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:

Specifying character ranges in tr differs between System V
and POSIX. In System V, brackets are required (e.g.,
'[A-Z]'), whereas in POSIX they are not.
We can mostly get around this by just using the bracket form
for both sets, as in:
tr '[A-Z] '[a-z]'
in which case POSIX interpets this as "'[' becomes '['",
which is OK.
However, this doesn't work with multiple sequences, like:
# rot13
tr '[A-Z][a-z]' '[N-Z][A-M][n-z][a-m]'
where the POSIX version does not behave the same as the
System V version. In this case, we must simply enumerate the
sequence.
This patch fixes problematic uses of tr in git scripts and
test scripts in one of three ways:
- if a single sequence, make sure it uses brackets
- if multiple sequences, enumerate
- if extra brackets (e.g., tr '[A]' 'a'), eliminate
brackets
