I have implemented something now to copy notes to another branch. Here
is it for reference:
--->8---
#! /bin/sh
set -e
. git-sh-setup
# for now the remote notes rev must be a ref below refs/notes
# see id:20140220153045.gi6...@pengutronix.de for the respective plea.
remote_notes="refs/notes/servercommits"
local_notes="$(git notes get-ref)"
remote_notes_ref=$(git rev-parse --verify "$remote_notes^{commit}")
tmpfile=$(mktemp)
trap "rm \"$tmpfile\"" EXIT
git rev-list "$@" | sed 's/^/100644 blob [0-9a-f]{40}\t/' > $tmpfile
GIT_DIR=$(git rev-parse --git-dir)
GIT_INDEX_FILE="$GIT_DIR/index-rnotes" git read-tree "$remote_notes"
git ls-tree "$local_notes" | grep -E -f "$tmpfile" |
GIT_INDEX_FILE="$GIT_DIR/index-rnotes" git update-index --index-info
tree=$(GIT_INDEX_FILE="$GIT_DIR/index-rnotes" git write-tree)
if test "x$tree" = "x$(git rev-parse "$remote_notes_ref^{tree}")"; then
echo "empty commit"
exit 0
fi
commit=$(git commit-tree "$tree" -p "$remote_notes_ref" << EOF
Notes added by 'git notes-copy'
source notes: $(git rev-parse $local_notes)
EOF
)
git update-ref "$remote_notes" $commit $remote_notes_ref
--->8---
It still has some edges, but I think it will do for me. Enhancements
welcome.
Best regards
Uwe
