Checks for particular id3v2 frames in a set of files.
Usage:
    $0 <option> <FRAME> files...

Options:
    -m | --missing  Show files that are missing the frame
    -h | --has      Show files that have the frame
    -s | --show     Show the contents of the frame
    -a | --all      Show all the frames

For example, to find mp3's with no album art:
    $0 -m APIC *.mp3

Some sample frames:
    APIC    - Cover art
    TIT2    - Song name
    TPE1    - Artist
    TALB    - Album
    TCON    - Genre

In case it might be useful to others, here’s a script that can be used to convert a bunch of *.wav files to *.flac and *.flac files to *.mp3. The script will first first convert all *.wav files (if any) to *.flac, then it will convert all *.flac files to *.mp3. See the usage instructions starting on line 31 below for more details.

Usage:
$0 source/dir dest/dir

All wav/flac files in source/dir and its subdirectories will be converted to
mp3 and placed in dest/dir while maintaining the directory structures. ID3
tags will also be copied from flac to mp3 files.

Existing files (mp3 or flac) will not be overwritten.
Source and destination directories can be the same.

Here’s an example of how to use the git filter-branch command with the –env-filter option:

git checkout mybranch
git filter-branch --env-filter "export \
    GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Your Name' \
    GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='email@example.com' \
    GIT_COMMITTER_NAME='Your Name' \
    GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL='email@example.com'" \
    HEAD~4..HEAD

Notice that on line 7, the first reference (HEAD~4 in this example) needs to be the parent of the first (oldest) commit you want to change.

Verify that your changes are good by comparing the rewritten commits with the original/refs/heads/mybranch reference that filter-branch saves. If all is good, delete the original reference:

git update-ref -d refs/original/refs/heads/mybranch

In one of my old subversion projects I did some branch merges before SVN started tracking merges with meta-data. When the project was converted to GIT, what I ended up with were some branches that seemed to lead to nowhere (they looked like they were abandoned and never merged back into the trunk). Git had no way of knowing at what point the side-branches became integrated into the trunk because in early versions of SVN there was no meta-data to track merges. I have no plans to go back to SVN, so I decided to fix this “cosmetic” issue.

Git filter-branch to the rescue. The –parent-filter allows you to rewrite the parents of a commit. All I need to do is find the trunk commit that the branches were merged into and make the side-branch tip a second parent of that commit.

git filter-branch --parent-filter \
    'test $GIT_COMMIT = 9d2104a09307b44a3640ae368916edd80e966290 && \
    echo "-p a3f23400f469a327310513e9a20a0d717e7bc04f \
          -p 512e8f229bba27bbec1df49607e7717db760edec" \
    || cat' \
    --tag-name-filter 'cat' \
    a3f23400f469a327310513e9a20a0d717e7bc04f..master

Explanation: Line 2 contains the SHA1 (9d210…) of the SVN revision that is missing a parent. This is the revision into which the dangling head (512e8…) was actually merged in SVN, but which git does not show as containing 512e8.

Line 3 has the first parent (a3f23…) which was there before the filter-branch. We need to retain this parent. Line 4 has the SHA1 (512e8…) of the missing parent. Both of these will become parents of 9d210.

The cat is there because we want to keep all commits that don’t match 9d210… unchanged.

Lastly, line 6 is there to retain the existing tags, and line 7 covers the range we want to modify (notice that this extends from the parent of 9d210 to the tip of the master branch).

One of the problems with using git on Windows is that it’s difficult to integrate it with other native (Windows) tools. That’s because the environment git runs in (cygwin or msysgit) refers to files by their UNIX name, but the Windows tools have no notion of where /tmp is for example (and that location can be different between cygwin and msysgit).

When doing an interactive rebase, the editor might be asked to edit a file such as /cygdrive/c/some/path/to/a/file. When doing a diff in git, one or both of the files to be diff’d might be placed by git in /tmp. Windows tools don’t understand such path names.

Fortunately, cygwin ships with a utility called cygpath that can be used to convert between UNIX and Windows paths. Msysgit doesn’t have this utility, but if cygwin’s /bin directory is in your Windows path, msysgit will pick it up and the scripts below will be usable for both cygwin and msysgit.

Here’s a GitEditor.sh script that can be used as a wrapper around your editor:

#!/bin/sh

# Author: Gabriel Burca
#
# Script arguments:
# file-to-edit

FILE=`cygpath -w "${1}"`
"C:/Program Files/Vim/vim72/gvim.exe" "$FILE"

#!/bin/sh

# Author: Gabriel Burca
#
# Script arguments:
# path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode

# The old-file path is typically "/tmp/.diff_something" and windows programs
# don't know how to get to "/tmp"
# We use cygpath to convert to something windows programs understand.

OLD_FILE=`cygpath -w "${2}"`
NEW_FILE=`cygpath -w "${5}"`
"C:/Program Files/WinMerge/WinMergeU.exe" -e -ub "$OLD_FILE" "$NEW_FILE"

[diff]
external = "C:/Utility/GitExtDiff.sh"
[core]
editor = "C:/Utility/GitEditor.sh"

At one point I had a need to extract various pieces of information from the f-spot photo.db file (that’s where f-spot keeps all the information), so I wrote this script. Posting it here in case others find it useful. I called it
