Subject: filter-branch: handle "disappearing tree" case correctly in subdir filter
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.5-rc0~49^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b044ac3879b0950675f0e762f1dccbbb9f4001e;p=git.git

filter-branch: handle "disappearing tree" case correctly in subdir filter

The subdirectory filter had a bug to notice that the commit in question
did not have anything in the path-limited part of the tree.  $commit:$path
does not name an empty tree when $path does not appear in $commit.

This should fix it.  The additional test in t7003 is originally from Kevin
Ballard but with fixups.
