   3# Rewrite revision history

   6#
   7# Lets you rewrite GIT revision history by creating a new branch from
   8# your current branch by applying custom filters on each revision.
   9# Those filters can modify each tree (e.g. removing a file or running
  10# a perl rewrite on all files) or information about each commit.
  11# Otherwise, all information (including original commit times or merge
  12# information) will be preserved.
  13#
  14# The command takes the new branch name as a mandatory argument and
  15# the filters as optional arguments. If you specify no filters, the
  16# commits will be recommitted without any changes, which would normally
  17# have no effect and result with the new branch pointing to the same
  18# branch as your current branch. (Nevertheless, this may be useful in
  19# the future for compensating for some Git bugs or such, therefore
  20# such a usage is permitted.)
  21#
  22# WARNING! The rewritten history will have different ids for all the
  23# objects and will not converge with the original branch. You will not
  24# be able to easily push and distribute the rewritten branch. Please do
  25# not use this command if you do not know the full implications, and
  26# avoid using it anyway - do not do what a simple single commit on top
  27# of the current version would fix.
  28#
  29# Always verify that the rewritten version is correct before disposing
  30# the original branch.
  31#
  32# Note that since this operation is extensively I/O expensive, it might
  33# be a good idea to do it off-disk, e.g. on tmpfs. Reportedly the speedup
  34# is very noticeable.
  35#
  36# OPTIONS
  37# -------
  38# -d TEMPDIR:: The path to the temporary tree used for rewriting
  39#       When applying a tree filter, the command needs to temporary
  40#       checkout the tree to some directory, which may consume
  41#       considerable space in case of large projects. By default it
  42#       does this in the '.git-rewrite/' directory but you can override
  43#       that choice by this parameter.
  44#
  45# Filters
  46# ~~~~~~~
  47# The filters are applied in the order as listed below. The COMMAND
  48# argument is always evaluated in shell using the 'eval' command.
  49# The $GIT_COMMIT environment variable is permanently set to contain
  50# the id of the commit being rewritten. The author/committer environment
  51# variables are set before the first filter is run.
  52#
  53# A 'map' function is available that takes an "original sha1 id" argument
  54# and outputs a "rewritten sha1 id" if the commit has been already
  55# rewritten, fails otherwise; the 'map' function can return several
  56# ids on separate lines if your commit filter emitted multiple commits
  57# (see below).
  58#
  59# --env-filter COMMAND:: The filter for modifying environment
  60#       This is the filter for modifying the environment in which
  61#       the commit will be performed. Specifically, you might want
  62#       to rewrite the author/committer name/email/time environment
  63#       variables (see `git-commit` for details). Do not forget to
  64#       re-export the variables.
  65#
  66# --tree-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting tree (and its contents)
  67#       This is the filter for rewriting the tree and its contents.
  68#       The COMMAND argument is evaluated in shell with the working
  69#       directory set to the root of the checked out tree. The new tree
  70#       is then used as-is (new files are auto-added, disappeared files
  71#       are auto-removed - .gitignore files nor any other ignore rules
  72#       HAVE NO EFFECT!).
  73#
  74# --index-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting index
  75#       This is the filter for rewriting the Git's directory index.
  76#       It is similar to the tree filter but does not check out the
  77#       tree, which makes it much faster. However, you must use the
  78#       lowlevel Git index manipulation commands to do your work.
  79#
  80# --parent-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting parents
  81#       This is the filter for rewriting the commit's parent list.
  82#       It will receive the parent string on stdin and shall output
  83#       the new parent string on stdout. The parent string is in
  84#       format accepted by `git-commit-tree`: empty for initial
  85#       commit, "-p parent" for a normal commit and "-p parent1
  86#       -p parent2 -p parent3 ..." for a merge commit.
  87#
  88# --msg-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting commit message
  89#       This is the filter for rewriting the commit messages.
  90#       The COMMAND argument is evaluated in shell with the original
  91#       commit message on standard input; its standard output is
  92#       is used as the new commit message.
  93#
  94# --commit-filter COMMAND:: The filter for performing the commit
  95#       If this filter is passed, it will be called instead of the
  96#       `git-commit-tree` command, with those arguments:
  97#
  98#               TREE_ID [-p PARENT_COMMIT_ID]...
  99#
 100#       and the log message on stdin. The commit id is expected on
 101#       stdout. As a special extension, the commit filter may emit
 102#       multiple commit ids; in that case, all of them will be used
 103#       as parents instead of the original commit in further commits.
 104#
 105# --tag-name-filter COMMAND:: The filter for rewriting tag names.
 106#       If this filter is passed, it will be called for every tag ref
 107#       that points to a rewritten object (or to a tag object which
 108#       points to a rewritten object). The original tag name is passed
 109#       via standard input, and the new tag name is expected on standard
 110#       output.
 111#
 112#       The original tags are not deleted, but can be overwritten;
 113#       use "--tag-name-filter=cat" to simply update the tags. In this
 114#       case, be very careful and make sure you have the old tags
 115#       backed up in case the conversion has run afoul.
 116#
 117#       Note that there is currently no support for proper rewriting of
 118#       tag objects; in layman terms, if the tag has a message or signature
 119#       attached, the rewritten tag won't have it. Sorry. (It is by
 120#       definition impossible to preserve signatures at any rate, though.)
 121#
 122# --subdirectory-filter DIRECTORY:: Only regard the history, as seen by
 123#       the given subdirectory. The result will contain that directory as
 124#       its project root.
 125#
 126# EXAMPLE USAGE
 127# -------------
 128# Suppose you want to remove a file (containing confidential information
 129# or copyright violation) from all commits:
 130#
 131#       git-filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm filename' newbranch
 132#
 133# A significantly faster version:
 134#
 135#       git-filter-branch --index-filter 'git-update-index --remove filename' newbranch
 136#
 137# Now, you will get the rewritten history saved in the branch 'newbranch'
 138# (your current branch is left untouched).
 139#
 140# To "etch-graft" a commit to the revision history (set a commit to be
 141# the parent of the current initial commit and propagate that):
 142#
 143#       git-filter-branch --parent-filter sed\ 's/^$/-p graftcommitid/' newbranch
 144#
 145# (if the parent string is empty - therefore we are dealing with the
 146# initial commit - add graftcommit as a parent). Note that this assumes
 147# history with a single root (that is, no git-merge without common ancestors
 148# happened). If this is not the case, use:
 149#
 150#       git-filter-branch --parent-filter 'cat; [ "$GIT_COMMIT" = "COMMIT" ] && echo "-p GRAFTCOMMIT"' newbranch
 151#
 152# To remove commits authored by "Darl McBribe" from the history:
 153#
 154#       git-filter-branch --commit-filter 'if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Darl McBribe" ]; then shift; while [ -n "$1" ]; do shift; echo "$1"; shift; done; else git-commit-tree "$@"; fi' newbranch
 155#
 156# (the shift magic first throws away the tree id and then the -p
 157# parameters). Note that this handles merges properly! In case Darl
 158# committed a merge between P1 and P2, it will be propagated properly
 159# and all children of the merge will become merge commits with P1,P2
 160# as their parents instead of the merge commit.
 161#
 162# To restrict rewriting to only part of the history, specify a revision
 163# range in addition to the new branch name. The new branch name will
 164# point to the top-most revision that a 'git rev-list' of this range
 165# will print.
 166#
 167# Consider this history:
 168#
 169#            D--E--F--G--H
 170#           /     /
 171#       A--B-----C
 172#
 173# To rewrite commits D,E,F,G,H, use:
 174#
 175#       git-filter-branch ... new-H C..H
 176#
 177# To rewrite commits E,F,G,H, use one of these:
 178#
 179#       git-filter-branch ... new-H C..H --not D
 180#       git-filter-branch ... new-H D..H --not C
 181#
 182# To move the whole tree into a subdirectory, or remove it from there:
 183#
 184# git-filter-branch --index-filter \
 185#       'git-ls-files -s | sed "s-\t-&newsubdir/-" |
 186#               GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
 187#                       git-update-index --index-info &&
 188#        mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE' directorymoved
