BTW, just trying to get filter-branch to interpret the bash script
string correctly now and it still isn't working:
git filter-branch -f --prune-empty --index-filter "\
git ls-files -s | \
sed \"s-\\t\\\"*-&${1}-\" | \
GIT_INDEX_FILE=\$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
git update-index --index-info && \
mv \$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \$GIT_INDEX_FILE \
" HEAD
I'm guessing bash is grabbing my actual bash shell is grabbing the
GIT_INDEX_FILE declaration for itself. If this is the case, I'm not
sure how to stop it - tried var\=\$var.new and that passes the '\='
which totally messes things up.
Rewrite ef54b77e59c7f4e18f00168ba88a8d2fee795802 (1/76)mv: cannot stat
`/<repo path>/.git-rewrite/t/../index.new': No such file or directory
index filter failed: git ls-files -s | sed
"s-\t\"*-&cookbooks/adjoin/-" | GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new
git update-index --index-info && mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new
$GIT_INDEX_FILE
