When git filter-branch is used to replace a submodule with another
content, it always fails on the first commit. Consider a repository with
submod directory containing a submodule. If I want to remove the
submodule and replace it with a file, the following command fails.
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf submod &&
git rm -q submod &&
mkdir submod &&
touch submod/file'
The error message is:
error: submod: is a directory - add files inside instead
The reason is that git diff-index, which generates the first part of the
list of files updated by the tree filter, emits also the removed
submodule even if it was replaced by a real directory.
Adding --ignored-submodules solves the problem for me and
tests in t7003-filter-branch.sh pass correctly.
