Subject: [PATCH] filter-branch: use printf instead of echo -e
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 15:49:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180319144905.11564-1-michele@locati.it> (raw)
In order to echo a tab character, it's better to use printf instead of
"echo -e", because it's more portable (for instance, "echo -e" doesn't work
as expected on a Mac).
This solves the "fatal: Not a valid object name" error in git-filter-branch
when using the --state-branch option.
