From: Miklos Vajna Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:30:58 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-filter-branch: add a new commit-filter example Message-ID: <20080223193058.GE31441@genesis.frugalware.org> There is a commit-filter example already which skips commits but there is no example on how to edit commit messages. One can figure out this example by carefully reading the git-filter-branch and git-commit-tree documentation but I think it isn't trivial so this example is helpful. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna --- The lack of such an example was noticed by dvorak on IRC.
