Does bash auto convert value in > TRASH_DIRECTORY="$TE..." line? No. When this line is executed: TEST_DIRECTORY=$(pwd) $(pwd) still has its default behavior to return the POSIX style path. pwd is redefined to pwd -W only later. I'm hesitant to redefine pwd earlier in test-lib.sh, though, because we would have to audit all uses of TEST_DIRECTORY for whether POSIX style paths or drive-letter paths are needed. -- Hannes -- 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
