It doesn’t matter whether any other code would use it; even if you are the only caller, it is still good because - if someone else needs the facility, it will be obvious where to find it - you can share the existing logic to portably run a command (i.e., near free portability to msys). run_command() already takes an argument for options like RUN_USING_SHELL; your new facility would fit right in. But first a more basic question: why not just add “./” to the start of the command name? -- 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
