From: Jeff King Date: Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:46:27 GMT Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix filter-branch subdir example for exotic repo names Message-ID: <20110401144627.GA3686@sigill.intra.peff.net> In-Reply-To: <20110401144107.GA3103@sigill.intra.peff.net> The GIT_INDEX_FILE variable we get from git has the full path to the repo, which may contain spaces. When we use it in our shell snippet, it needs to be quoted. Signed-off-by: Jeff King --- This version tests fine for me with: #!/bin/sh repo='repo with space' rm -rf "$repo" git init "$repo" && cd "$repo" && echo content >file && git add file && git commit -m file && git filter-branch --index-filter \ 'git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t\"*-&newsubdir/-" | GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \ git update-index --index-info && mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"' HEAD Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt b/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt index 03c76c7..9dc1f2a 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt @@ -359,11 +359,11 @@ To move the whole tree into a subdirectory, or remove it from there: --------------------------------------------------------------- git filter-branch --index-filter \ 'git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t\"*-&newsubdir/-" | GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \ git update-index --index-info && - mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE' HEAD + mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"' HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------- Checklist for Shrinking a Repository -- 1.7.4.13.g8566c
