If I add debugging output to __git_list_merge_strategies that writes to stderr, I want to see it. Why the 'test "$foo"' form instead of [[ -n which is more common in this completion script? Why use "return" instead of [[ -n $var ]] || var=$(...) which feels a little simpler? -- 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
