Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix filter-branch subdir example for exotic repo names
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 10:46:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110401144627.GA3686@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
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.

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
