filter-branch: fix variable export logic
filter-branch tries to restore "old" copies of some
environment variables by using the construct:
unset var
test -z "$old_var" || var="$old_var" && export var
This is just wrong. AND-list and OR-list operators && and || have equal
precedence and they bind left to right. The second term, var="$old"
assignment always succeeds, so we always end up exporting var.
On bash and dash, exporting an unset variable has no effect. However, on
some shells (such as FreeBSD's /bin/sh), the shell exports the empty
value.
This manifested itself in this case as git-filter-branch setting
GIT_INDEX_FILE to the empty string, which in turn caused its call to
git-read-tree to fail, leaving the working tree pointing at the original
HEAD instead of the rewritten one.
To fix this, we change the short-circuit logic to better match the intent:
test -z "$old_var" || {
var="$old_var" && export var
}
