Subject: Problem using git-filter-branch to move tree when repository name contains space
Date: Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:30:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D95E182.6030903@revelate.com> (raw)
Hi,
I want to move my repository (wich is contained in a directory whose
name's containing a space) root tree to a subdirectory.
I followed what's documented in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-filter-branch.html ,
using the last example :
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 $GIT_INDEX_FILE' HEAD
But, look at the following two scenario:
Scenario 1 : Repository have no space in it, everything works fine :
jfburdet@nagios:~$ mkdir gittest
jfburdet@nagios:~$ cd gittest/
jfburdet@nagios:~/gittest$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jfburdet/gittest/.git/
jfburdet@nagios:~/gittest$ touch a_file
jfburdet@nagios:~/gittest$ git add .
jfburdet@nagios:~/gittest$ git commit -m "A commit"
[master (root-commit) e6261d5] A commit
Committer: jfburdet <jfburdet@(none)>
0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 a_file
jfburdet@nagios:~/gittest$ 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 $GIT_INDEX_FILE' HEAD
Rewrite e6261d591357f39e1b4f95c0dfeb7a133e211161 (1/1)
Ref 'refs/heads/master' was rewritten
Scenario 2 : Repository have space in its directory name, making the
command fails
jfburdet@nagios:~$ mkdir "git test"
jfburdet@nagios:~$ cd "git test"
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jfburdet/git test/.git/
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$ touch a_file
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$ git add .
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$ git commit -m "A commit"
[master (root-commit) 3658e30] A commit
Committer: jfburdet <jfburdet@(none)>
0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 a_file
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$ 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 $GIT_INDEX_FILE' HEAD
Rewrite 3658e305df3ace21d39bf57dd4e0e5627818dfcc (1/1)mv: target
`test/.git-rewrite/t/../index' is not a directory
index filter failed: git ls-files -s | sed "s- \"*-&newsubdir/-" |
GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
git update-index --index-info &&
mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE
jfburdet@nagios:~/git test$
I tried to tweak the sed expression with no success. Can someone help me
with that ?
Please note that I can't simply rename the directory before firing up
"git filter-branch" because I'm in a process of merging repositories and
their name are mandatory.
Cheers,
Jean-François,
