Ash (used as /bin/sh on many distros) has a shell expansion bug for the form ${var:+word word}. The result is a single argument "word word". Work around by using ${var:+word} ${var:+word} or equivalent. Signed-off-by: Ben Jackson <ben@xxxxxxx> --- I found this by accident while testing another trivial git-am patch. It was broken about a week ago in git-am.sh by f79d4c8a and one of the test cases caught it on FreeBSD. The other instance has been around longer and I found it by grepping. I added a new testcase (none too exciting) which exposes the problem. There are more instances of ${x:+alt} which don't have spaces which I did not touch. For the curious: bash on linux: $ parent=ok $ echo ${parent:+-p $parent} -p ok $ for i in ${parent:+-p $parent} ; do echo .$i; done .-p .ok ash (/bin/sh) on freebsd: $ parent=ok $ echo ${parent:+-p $parent} -p ok $ for i in ${parent:+-p $parent} ; do echo .$i; done .-p ok This is probably a bug in ash. It does expand ${foo:+*} into many words. git-am.sh | 2 +- git-submodule.sh | 2 +- t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh | 8 ++++++++ 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-am.sh b/git-am.sh index bfc50c9..e539c60 100755 --- a/git-am.sh +++ b/git-am.sh @@ -570,7 +570,7 @@ do GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$GIT_AUTHOR_DATE" export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE fi && - git commit-tree $tree ${parent:+-p $parent} <"$dotest/final-commit" + git commit-tree $tree ${parent:+-p} $parent <"$dotest/final-commit" ) && git update-ref -m "$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: $FIRSTLINE" HEAD $commit $parent || stop_here $this diff --git a/git-submodule.sh b/git-submodule.sh index 7c2e060..bb3766d 100755 --- a/git-submodule.sh +++ b/git-submodule.sh @@ -204,7 +204,7 @@ cmd_add() else module_clone "$path" "$realrepo" || exit - (unset GIT_DIR; cd "$path" && git checkout -f -q ${branch:+-b "$branch" "origin/$branch"}) || + (unset GIT_DIR; cd "$path" && git checkout -f -q ${branch:+-b} ${branch:+"$branch"} ${branch:+"origin/$branch"}) || die "Unable to checkout submodule '$path'" fi diff --git a/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh b/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh index af690ec..3c05c27 100755 --- a/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh +++ b/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh @@ -64,6 +64,14 @@ test_expect_success 'submodule add' ' ) ' +test_expect_success 'submodule add --branch' ' + ( + cd addtest && + git submodule add -b initial "$submodurl" submod-branch && + git submodule init + ) +' + test_expect_success 'submodule add with ./ in path' ' ( cd addtest && -- 1.6.0.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
