replace-text-limited-to-certain-files: `TypeError: %d format: a real number is required, not bytes`

[andry81]

I am trying to use replace-text-limited-to-certain-files branch to use --replace-text-filename-callback option.

Steps to install:

1. python -m pip install git-filter-repo
2. copy git-filter-repo into Scripts python directory and rename to git-filter-repo-replace-text
3. replace shebang line to #!/usr/bin/env python

Shell code:

SOURCETREE_PATH_FILE=README.md

git-filter-repo-replace-text --replace-text-filename-callback \
'import os
source_tree_file = os.environ["SOURCETREE_PATH_FILE"]
return True if source_tree_file == filename else False
' --replace-text "<p/>==></p>" --refs t1~1..master

The code throws an error:

The replace-text-limited-to-certain-files branch has been deleted. The new --file-info-callback added in commit 615720731589 (filter-repo: add a --file-info-callback, 2024-10-23) is much more general and obviates the need for the work on that branch.
