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

* Lars Noschinski [off-list ref] [09-02-17 09:31]:

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).

Ops, forgot the

Feel free to add it. I can also resend the patch.
