From 206a6ae01355e4d5d0e01e6d99d960fcc907e6b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michele Locati Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 16:52:59 +0100 Subject: filter-branch: use printf instead of echo -e In order to echo a tab character, it's better to use printf instead of "echo -e", because it's more portable (for instance, "echo -e" doesn't work as expected on a Mac). This solves the "fatal: Not a valid object name" error in git-filter-branch when using the --state-branch option. Furthermore, let's switch from "/bin/echo" to just "echo", so that the built-in echo command is used where available.
