Dear Maintainer,
If files are created (likewise: deleted) in a delta, git uses /dev/null
as a special filename to denote that. filterdiff's --addprefix (and
variants) however treat this as a regular filename, hence
| $ git diff HEAD^..
| diff --git a/file b/file
| new file mode 100644
| index 0000000..9daeafb
| --- /dev/null
| +++ b/file
| @@ -0,0 +1 @@
| +test
| $ git diff HEAD^.. | filterdiff --addprefix 'src/'
+ --- src//dev/null
| +++ src/b/file
| @@ -0,0 +1 @@
| +test
It seems wise to never touch the literal filename /dev/null in any
--addprefix behaviour. To play extra safe, make this configurable usind
a new option.
Aside, --strip already does the right thing.
Regards,
Christoph
