[BUG] filter-branch --parent-filter in bare repository

2012-08-17 Thread Wolfgang Rohdewald
Using git version 1.7.12.rc2.18.g61b472e
(1.7.9 has the same problem)

If I run (directly in the bare repository)

git filter-branch -d ../localrewrite --parent-filter cat

I get this error message on the last line, nothing unusual before:
error: Untracked working tree file 'AUTHORS' would be overwritten by merge.

but if I run (directly in the bare repository)

git filter-branch -d .localrewrite --parent-filter cat

everything works fine. Depending on the path of the temporary directory,
the error may also point to some other file. AUTHORS is in the root directory,
but it is never untracked.

If I do a clone and run the same command in the clone, it also works with any
temp directory.

And this only happens with one specific repository - a KDE game, converted with
svn2git. No other game has this problem. git fsck only finds dangling tags.

The resulting repositories are identical, so I can ignore the error message for 
now.
But still - why can't I run this in the bare repository? git help filter-branch 
does not
mention something like that.

You can get the repository here:

Maybe related:

I run this directly in the bare repository. If the command succeeds, I find
a checkout directly there (everything was clean before), so I have all this
intermixed - IMHO a bug.
