I found a small problem when /bin/sh is linked to dash.

$ /bin/dash t*-filter-branch.sh
*   ok 1: setup
* FAIL 2: rewrite identically

                git-filter-branch H2

* FAIL 3: result is really identical

                test $H = $(git-rev-parse H2)

* FAIL 4: rewrite, renaming a specific file

                git-filter-branch --tree-filter "mv d doh || :" H3

* FAIL 5: test that the file was renamed

                test d = $(git show H3:doh)

* failed 4 among 5 test(s)
$ cd trash/
$ rm -rf .git-rewrite/
$ git filter-branch H2
/home/fonseca/bin/git-filter-branch: 386: arith: syntax error: "i+1"
$

A possible fix that makes the test pass for me.
