While you are technically correct that the change you made in t4030 is not justified by the commit log message in the sense that the "hexdump" script will go through run_command() interface and is not subject to the special rules filter writers need to keep in mind, the patch text itself is a good change, isn't it? Do you want me to split the commit into two (one with the current message with a patch only to t0021, and another to t4030 with a justification like "SHELL_PATH is what the user told us to use")? > 2.

As "run-command: convert simple callsites to use_shell" is the one that changes the filter_buffer(), do you want to have t0021 patch before that one, to prepare the test for the coming change? -- 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
