[PATCH v2] filter-branch -d: Export GIT_DIR earlier

From: Lars Noschinski <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:46:13
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The improved error handling catches a bug in filter-branch when using
-d pointing to a path outside any git repository:

$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ git init
$ touch bar
$ git add bar
$ git commit -m bar
$ cd ..
$ git clone --bare foo
$ cd foo.git
$ git filter-branch -d /tmp/filter master
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

This error message comes from git for-each-ref in line 224. GIT_DIR is
set correctly by git-sh-setup (to the foo.git repository), but not
exported (yet).
---

The tests copies backup-ref into another directory and checks
that it contains a branch from the rewritten repository.
