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

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?

Maybe even using "-z" in both cases?

Having said that, I do not understand why the old code did not work.  Will 
have a look later today.

The reason mine does not have to use -z is because both end
knows how to C-quote paths under non-z mode.

Now you mention it, it certainly is a bit puzzling why the old
one did not work.
