Why not, but in case someone explicitely passes " " as $4 in the future, it's likely to be better to strip it for the same reason we strip it here.

Your version is misleading, because we use -o nospace for ZSH too. So, overall, I prefer my version ;-). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
