Isn't it because only git-bisect.sh for whatever reason reimplements sq using Perl while original implementation in am used sed for more portability? I would suspect, if it were 3 years ago, that any serious porcelain writers would have very much appreciated such a feature that gives shell programmers an easy access to a quoting function that allows a safe eval, and I would have strongly suggested that the feature to be implemented in a more permanent place rather than in bisect--helper; perhaps a better place would be the kitchen-sink "rev-parse". But given that nobody seems competent enough to do serious programming in shell these days, I am not sure if the choice between bisect--helper and rev-parse makes much of a difference ;-). -- 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
