Subject: [PATCH 1/2] filter-branch: provide the convenience functions also for commit filters
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0707181650080.14781@racer.site>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.64.0707181650080.14781%40racer.site

```

By sourcing git-filter-branch and stopping after the function definitions,
the commit filter can now access the convenience functions like "map".

This is done automatically if you specify a commit filter.

Hmmmmmm.

Care to enlighten why this is not just:

	filter_commit="SOURCE_FUNCTIONS=1 . \"$0\"; $OPTARG"

Is it because you cd(1) around in the script, and it can be
relative to where you started?

In either case, are you quoting potential funnies (such as '"'
or '\\') in "$0" sufficiently?  Exporting this_script variable,
and changing the above to

	filter_commit='SOURCE_FUNCTIONS=1 . "$this_script";'" $OPTARG"

to arrange the shell that is invoked with 'sh -c' to expand its
value would make it smaller problem, I suspect.

```

Will do.  You know, I do have my problems with correct quoting, and the 
way I did it in this patch was always good enough for me.  Which does not 
mean much...

Ciao,
