Subject: meaning of HEAD in context of filter-branch
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:43:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091011024357.GA9021@debian.b2j> (raw)
I tried to process some files that changed between each commit using
the command
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'git diff --name-only HEAD^.. | foo
however it seems that HEAD is fixed to mean the HEAD of the current
tip before starting git-filter-branch, by trying like this
$ git rev-list -1 HEAD^
2bf95faed2d51c338ea6fa93e7bb6cc9c1bc759b
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'git rev-list -1 HEAD^ >>/tmp/sha' -- --all
$ cat /tmp/sha
2bf95faed2d51c338ea6fa93e7bb6cc9c1bc759b
2bf95faed2d51c338ea6fa93e7bb6cc9c1bc759b
2bf95faed2d51c338ea6fa93e7bb6cc9c1bc759b
2bf95faed2d51c338ea6fa93e7bb6cc9c1bc759b
how to get the HEAD during filter-branch or other workaround?
