Convert files no extension

[wesyq]

Hi,

Is there a way to convert files without an extension? For example, I tried this:

java -jar git-lfs-migrate.jar \ -s source.git \ -d dest.git \ -g https://example/lfs-test.git
\ “.clean” \ “.log” \ “SAMPLEDATA”

But the file SAMPLEDATA did not get converted to LFS. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

You command looks like really strange (it has strange quotes and slashes).
Looks like it shold be like:

java -jar git-lfs-migrate.jar -s source.git -d dest.git -g https://example/lfs-test.git .clean "*.log" SAMPLEDATA

git-lfs-migrate takes file masks, not extensions.
So, for example:

• SAMPLEDATA - files with exact "SAMPLEDATA" name
• *.log - files ends with ".log"
• .foo* - files begins with ".foo"

Quotes need on Unix for escape asterisk and question characters. On Windows you can write command without it.

I tried it without the quotes and slashes too, but the files without extensions don't seem to be filtered. This feature to filter extension-less files would be really cool if possible :) If you have already tested it, then may be it is a matter of my environment. I am using Windows. Although I can try it on Mac too.

Btw, thanks for such a great tool, it has really helped me and my migration team :)

Really. Wildcards was processed incorrectly. Fixed.

Not fixed yet :(

I try to fix pattern matching and it works much better.
But unfortunatelly it still not fully correct. I fix this issue something later on this week.

Hi,

Did you get a chance to fix it? :)

[bozaro]

If you use only name patterns and don't use path patterns (like "foo/*.zip"), you can safety use version from master branch.
Correct fix shoud be some later.

Okay, thanks. I will try it. Although the build is failing, but only due to a test assertion, the code can be tried as you said it should be working fine safely.

I managed to convert extension-less files by building the source from master. Thanks a ton!

Also, I noticed that I no longer need to place the backslashes '' in the newer build, and it worked. In the earlier releases, I had to put the backslashes in the command. But not anymore. This is also an improvement.
