   Filters
       The filters are applied in the order as listed below. The <command>
       argument is always evaluated in the shell context 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.

Andreas.
