Yes, that is the attitude we take towards /bin/sh on Solaris. Most people running git on Solaris (or other broken-shell platforms) point SHELL_PATH to bash. I think the point of Brandon's patch is to let them use a native shell. So while /bin/sh is broken, the question is whether the alternate native shell is broken enough to use or not. -Peff -- 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
