The output from $ gettext "foobar" may have 0, 1 or more LF at the end, but wouldn't echo >&2 "$(gettext "foobar")" terminate with a single LF in any case? Ahh, perhaps I was the one who said something stupid like: echo >&2 "$(cmd)" should be equivalent to cmd >&2 which is not the case when output from cmd does not end with a single LF (i.e. either an incomplete line, or with trailing blank lines). Sorry, if that is what you are trying to address, please let me take that back. -- 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
