v1.7.3-rc2 has t7003 breakage on Mac OS X 10.6.4

Hi,

Just noticed a new test failure in t7003 on Mac OS X 10.6.4. Wasn't present in rc1, but is in rc2.

Relevant section of "make test" output:

The failing test is "30 automatic remapping to ancestor with filename filters".

Here's a segment of the output of "sh -x t7003-filter-branch.sh" from inside the "t" directory (this is just the part near test 30):

And here's the entire output of "sh -x t7003-filter-branch.sh" (thousands of lines long):

This is on a pretty "stock" version of Mac OS X, using Apple-supplied Bash:

  GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0)
  Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

According to "git bisect", this is the change that is responsible for the breakage:

    filter-branch: retire --remap-to-ancestor
    
    We can be clever and know by ourselves when we need the behavior
    implied by "--remap-to-ancestor". No need to encumber users by having
    them exposed to it as a tunable. (Option kept for backward compatibility,
    but it's now a no-op.)

Please let me know if you need any further info to troubleshoot the issue.
