Hi, folks,
I ran into a weird situation while working on a script, which is best
described with a little snippet from my gitosis-admin repository:
$ git branch
* master
$ branch=$(git branch)
$ echo $branch
gitosis.conf keydir master
That is, if you run 'git branch' inside $() or ``, it lists the directories,
too. I can't imagine that this is intended behavior, but perhaps I'm wrong.
I can reproduce this on CentOS, Ubuntu, Solaris, and Mac OS X using git
1.6.2.3, 1.6.3.2, 1.6.3.3, 1.6.4.2, and 1.6.5.2.
(In the end, I figured out a better way to write my script anyway, but this
is just too weird not to ask about.)
Thanks,
Kate Ebneter
