Subject: [PATCH] git-filter-branch: avoid collisions with variables in eval'ed commands
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:13:01 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1238015581-12801-1-git-send-email-newren@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

Avoid using simple variable names like 'i', since user commands are eval'ed
and may clash with and overwrite our values.

I discovered this a few months ago, but apparently never got around to
sending it earlier.  Anyway, without this patch in a repository with a
file called 'world' I see the following behavior:

$ git filter-branch --tree-filter '
   for i in $(find . -type f); do
     if ( file $i | grep "\btext\b" > /dev/null ); then
       perl -i -ple "s/\\\$(Id|Date|Source|Header|CVSHeader|Author|Revision):[^\
\$]*\\$/\\$\1\\$/" $i;
     fi;
   done ' -- --all

Rewrite 7a78604e90b9debfaa6a755019b5d3df541abcba (1/6)/usr/bin/git-filter-branch
: line 249: ./world+1: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "./world+1
")


In case anyone is wondering: This isn't the right way to nuke CVS keywords.
It's a good start, but it'll miss a few files (particularly with older
versions of the 'file' program) due to some types such as 'FORTRAN program
source' not containing 'text'.  Also, it's incredibly slow to the point
that I dropped filter-branch entirely and wrote a 'git_fast_filter' helper
(serving as a pipe between fast-export and fast-import) that I'll soon be
making available.
