Subject: git-filter-repo "Already Ran" message when performing certain b4 actions
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 14:33:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250827213329.GA38537@ax162> (raw)
Hi,
Vlastimil reported on IRC that the following message pops up when
invoking an action that uses git-filter-repo, such as
'b4 prep --edit-cover':
Invoking git-filter-repo to update the cover letter.
The previous run is older than a day (.git/filter-repo/already_ran already exists).
See "Already Ran" section in the manual for more information.
Treat this run as a continuation of filtering in the previous run (Y/N)?
This appears to come from a change in git-filter-repo 2.47:
https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/commit/8a243ae8adb02223f74fcc082c84c76d66853040
Maybe b4 can remove that file at the end of the action so that users are
not prompted about this?
Cheers,
Nathan
