Subject: [PATCH] filter-branch documentation: clarify which filters are eval'ed
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 17:07:48 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0707051704520.9789@racer.site> (raw)
All filters, except the commit filter, are evaluated.

I tried to extract the magic of the "remove commit" example into a
function "skip_commit", since I guess it will be a common
operation. Alas, since the commit filter has to be "sh -c"ed to
get arguments, I do not see any way to use a convenience function
in there, short of sourcing a helper file. Does anybody see a
better way?

The filters are applied in the order as listed below. The <command>
-argument is always evaluated in shell using the 'eval' command.
+argument is always evaluated in shell using the 'eval' command (with the
+notable exception of the commit filter, for technical reasons).
Prior to that, the $GIT_COMMIT environment variable will be set to contain
the id of the commit being rewritten. Also, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME,
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL,
