Subject: [PATCH] fiter-branch: fix commit map init from state branch
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:31:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260801033127.10606-1-dev@grantmoyer.com> (raw)

The commit map dir is populated from the state branch assuming a
"to_commit:from_commit" format, but the state branch is written with a
"from_commit:to_commit" format, resulting in an inverted mapping when the
map is populated from the state branch. This is especially evident when
--prune-empty is used and creates commits which map to nothing; when the
map dir is populated from this state on subsequent runs, git-filter-branch
outputs many errors while trying to create files with empty names, like:

> /usr/lib/git-core/git-filter-branch: line 305: ../map/: Is a directory

This change corrects the population of the commit map dir to match the
"from_commit:to_commit" format.
