Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons
for why it existed don't apply anymore:
1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See
e1622bfcba (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity,
2009-11-23).
Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions
its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care
about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string
exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C"
that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings
will behave the same under any locale.
2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b (sane_grep: pass "-a" if
grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep
uses deal with binary data.

When checking whether a commit was rewritten to a single object id, we
use a glob that insists on a 40-hex result. This works for sha1, but
fails t7003 when run with GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256.
Since the previous commit simplified the case statement here, we only
have two arms: an empty string or a single object id. We can just loosen
our glob to match anything, and still distinguish those cases (we lose
the ability to notice bogus input, but that's not a problem; we are the
one who wrote the map in the first place, and anyway update-ref will
complain loudly if the input isn't a valid hash).

When a ref maps to a commit that is neither rewritten nor kept by
filter-branch (e.g., because it was eliminated by rev-list's pathspec
selection), we rewrite it to its nearest ancestor.
Since the initial commit in 6f6826c52b (Add git-filter-branch,
2007-06-03), we have warned when there are multiple such ancestors in
the map file. However, the warning code is impossible to trigger these
days. Since a0e46390d3 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12), we find the ancestor using "rev-list
-1", so it can only ever have a single value.
This code is made doubly confusing by the fact that we append to the map
file when mapping ancestors. However, this can never yield multiple
values because:
- we explicitly check whether the map already exists, and if so, do
nothing (so our "append" will always be to a file that does not
exist)
- even if we were to try mapping twice, the process to do so is
deterministic. I.e., we'd always end up with the same ancestor for a
given sha1. So warning about it would be pointless; there is no
ambiguity.
So swap out the warning code for a BUG (which we'll simplify further in
the next commit). And let's stop using the append operator to make the
ancestor-mapping code less confusing.

filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure
history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes). Many of
these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the
new repository is in use. This can result in problems ranging from an
even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first
place, to data loss or corruption. These issues cannot be backward
compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage
recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead.
Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch. Several of
these needed updates even if we could continue recommending
filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to
filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting
tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because
something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more
commonly known examples now existing. Reword these sections to fix
these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch.
Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an
alternative to filter-branch. I feel somewhat bad about this,
especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to
good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for
filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems:
* In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need
to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that
can handle all the same types of rewrites. To my knowledge,
filter-repo is the only such tool. So it needs to be mentioned.
* I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users
* If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both
and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one
can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than
the other.
* BFG and filter-repo have similar performance
* All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do. In
fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named
bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with
several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in
BFG due to its technical underpinnings.
While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to
provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that
filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it
is just better to remove that section altogether.

Previously, the git_commit_non_empty_tree function would always pass any
commit with no parents to git-commit-tree, regardless of whether the
tree was nonempty. The new commit would then be recorded in the
filter-branch revision map, and subsequent commits which leave the tree
untouched would be correctly filtered.
With this change, parentless commits with an empty tree are correctly
pruned, and an empty file is recorded in the revision map, signifying
that it was rewritten to "no commits." This works naturally with the
parent mapping for subsequent commits.

A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a
regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been
corrected.
* jk/filter-branch-no-index:
filter-branch: resolve $commit^{tree} in no-index case
Commit 348d4f2 (filter-branch: skip index read/write when
possible, 2015-11-06) taught filter-branch to optimize out
the final "git write-tree" when we know we haven't touched
the tree with any of our filters. It does by simply putting
the literal text "$commit^{tree}" into the "$tree" variable,
avoiding a useless rev-parse call.
However, when we pass this to git_commit_non_empty_tree(),
it gets confused; it resolves "$commit^{tree}" itself, and
compares our string to the 40-hex sha1, which obviously
doesn't match. As a result, "--prune-empty" (or any custom
filter using git_commit_non_empty_tree) will fail to drop
an empty commit (when filter-branch is used without a tree
or index filter).
Let's resolve $tree to the 40-hex ourselves, so that
git_commit_non_empty_tree can work. Unfortunately, this is a
bit slower due to the extra process overhead:
$ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2 HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh
[...]
Test 348d4f2 HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------
7000.2: noop filter 3.76(0.24+0.26) 4.54(0.28+0.24) +20.7%
We could try to make git_commit_non_empty_tree more clever.
However, the value of $tree here is technically
user-visible. The user can provide arbitrary shell code at
this stage, which could itself have a similar assumption to
what is in git_commit_non_empty_tree. So the conservative
choice to fix this regression is to take the 20% hit and
give the pre-348d4f2 behavior. We still end up much faster
than before the optimization:
$ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2^ HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh
[...]
Test 348d4f2^ HEAD

Adding gpg
As a consequence, "filter-branch --msg-filter cat" (which should leave the
commit message unchanged) spills the signature (after the internal blank
line) into the original commit message.
The reason is that although the signature is indented, making the line a
whitespace only line, the "read" call is splitting the line based on
the shell's IFS, which defaults to <space><tab><newline>. The leading
space is consumed and $header_line is empty, causing the "skip header
lines" loop to exit.
The rest of the commit object is then re-used as the rewritten commit
message, causing the new message to include the signature of the
original commit.
Set IFS to an empty string for the "read" call, thus disabling the word
splitting, which causes $header_line to be set to the non-empty value ' '.
This allows the loop to fully consume the header lines before
emitting the original, intact commit message.

On some systems (like OS X), if sed encounters input without
a trailing newline, it will silently add it. As a result,
"git filter-branch" on such systems may silently rewrite
commit messages that omit a trailing newline. Even though
this is not something we generate ourselves with "git
commit", it's better for filter-branch to preserve the
original data as closely as possible.
We're using sed here only to strip the header fields from
the commit object. We can accomplish the same thing with a
shell loop. Since shell "read" calls are slow (usually one
syscall per byte), we use "cat" once we've skipped past the
header. Depending on the size of your commit messages, this
is probably faster (you pay the cost to fork, but then read
the data in saner-sized chunks). This idea is shamelessly
stolen from Junio.

When multiple parents of a merge commit get mapped to the same
commit, filter-branch used to pass all instances of the parent
commit to the parent and commit filters and to "git commit-tree" or
"git_commit_non_empty_tree".
This can often happen when extracting a small project from a large
repository; merges can join history with no commits on any branch
which affect the paths being retained. Once the intermediate
commits have been filtered out, all the immediate parents of the
merge commit can end up being mapped to the same commit - either the
original merge-base or an ancestor of it.
"git commit-tree" would display an error but write the commit with
the normalized parents in any case. "git_commit_non_empty_tree"
would fail to notice that the commit being made was in fact a
non-merge commit and would retain it even if a further pass with
"--prune-empty" would discard the commit as empty.
Ensure that duplicate parents are pruned before the parent filter to
make "--prune-empty" idempotent, removing all empty non-merge
commits in a singe pass.

Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index,
2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing
null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in
other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip
into the index (or worse, a tree).
Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that
contain null sha1s already, though. Until 4337b58, a common
way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's
index-filter to repair such broken entries. That now fails
when filter-branch tries to write out the index.
Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to
relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a
history.
It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit
at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ...
to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null
sha1s. That would be slightly safer, but requires some
specialized knowledge from the user. So let's set the
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out
the to-be-filtered trees. Advice on using filter-branch to
remove such entries already exists on places like
stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on
recent versions of git.
Further commands that touch the index will still notice and
fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries. A
filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all
will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only
on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but
this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the
problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

failed to come back to the original working tree to perform the

* jk/filter-branch-come-back-to-original:
filter-branch: return to original dir after filtering
The first thing filter-branch does is to create a temporary
directory, either ".git-rewrite" in the current directory
(which may be the working tree or the repository if bare),
or in a directory specified by "-d". We then chdir to
$tempdir/t as our temporary working directory in which to run
tree filters.
After finishing the filter, we then attempt to go back to
the original directory with "cd ../..". This works in the
.git-rewrite case, but if "-d" is used, we end up in a
random directory. The only thing we do after this chdir is
to run git-read-tree, but that means that:
1. The working directory is not updated to reflect the
filtered history.
2. We dump random files into "$tempdir/.." (e.g., if you
use "-d /tmp/foo", we dump junk into /tmp).
Fix it by recording the full path to the original directory
and returning there explicitly.

$(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
die "could not write rewritten commit"
One solution is simply to export `workdir'. However, it seems rather
heavy-handed to export `workdir' to the environments of all commands,
so instead this commit exports `workdir' for only the duration of the
shell command in question:
workdir=$workdir @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \
$(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
die "could not write rewritten commit"

"Usage: git filter-branch " that is prefixed to the first line is 25
columns long, so the "[--index-filter ..." on the second line would not
align with "[--env-filter ..." on the first line to begin with. If the
second and subsequent lines do not aim to align with anything on the
first line, it is just fine to indent them with a single HT.

I found that the patched 4 files were different when this
filter is applied.
expand -i | unexpand --first-only
This patch contains the corrected files.

We can be clever and know by ourselves when we need the behavior
implied by "--remap-to-ancestor". No need to encumber users by having
them exposed to it as a tunable. (Option kept for backward compatibility,
but it's now a no-op.)
