The filter-branch command, the contents of ~/.gitconfig and the tree are the same. The command succeeds on cygwin, but fails on Solaris due to unset GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME : $ git filter-branch --tree-filter "env | grep GIT_ ; $CMD" b416b9bfc5e71531f2f05af4c396bb0ba7560741..HEAD Rewrite 214efc6eec82b015aefe23b2280979f05b351396 (1/16)GIT_DIR=/home/tester/.ilya/builds/makepkg.rap_0.1-1_sparc.XXXXXX/src/rap/.git GIT_INDEX_FILE=/home/tester/.ilya/builds/makepkg.rap_0.1-1_sparc.XXXXXX/src/rap/.git-rewrite/t/../index GIT_WORK_TREE=.

Most likely, your sed has problems with a sed script in function get_author_ident_from_commit. I tested it like this: $ sh -c '. $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup; get_author_ident_from_commit HEAD' GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Johannes Sixt' GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='j6t@kdbg.org' GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='@1350025129 +0200' -- Hannes
