Re: What's in git.git (stable)

I thought we were pretty in good shape and in a nice and quiet
freeze period.

Until a few days ago.

Then suddenly, flurry of activity happened.  A few performance
issues were raised and fixed:

The fix to git-filter-branch I posted is tested and obviously
necessary (without it, git-filter-branch will only work if GIT_DIR is
set previously to calling it).

Also documentation and usage of git-filter-branch are out of kilter,
the given examples for wiping a file from history don't work,
specifing the refs to work on reacts impredictably (it is not clear
what gets accepted and what not, and one seemingly has to always
specify "HEAD" which is basically ignored).

Could you ask Dscho to consider adding cases based on the
documentation to the test suite?  That should help weed out the worst
discrepances.
