Re: [BUG] git filter-branch failed to suppress a file with an accentuated letter in the filename

The culprit seem to be those line of filter-branch: (around line 279) 
		git diff-index -r $commit | cut -f 2- | tr '\012' '\000' | \
			xargs -0 git update-index --add --replace --remove
git diff-index giving the filename as "foo/bar\303\251"

I have to wonder in what century filter-branch was written ;-)

Shouldn't those two lines be:

	git diff-index -r --name-only $commit |
        git update-index --add --replace --remove --stdin

these days, without any of the cut and cruft?
