This "echo" patch was not a fix. It was only an expeditive hack to demonstrate the problem. Please consider this stripped down test case instead: -------- >8 #!/bin/sh # LF=' ' IFS="$LF" ( : subshell because we muck with IFS pack_lockfile= IFS=" $LF" ( echo "keep 123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef012345678" ) | while read sha1 remote_name do case "$sha1" in # special line coming from index-pack with the pack name keep) pack_lockfile="$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack/pack-$remote_name.keep" echo "pack_lockfile set to $pack_lockfile" continue ;; esac done && if [ "$pack_lockfile" ]; then echo "rm -f $pack_lockfile"; fi echo "pack_lockfile=$pack_lockfile" ) -------- >8 The output I get is: pack_lockfile set to /pack/pack-123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef012345678.keep pack_lockfile= In other words the line with the echo "rm -f ..." never shows up and I don't know why. > That suggests that we need to come up with a way to clean up > these .keep files some other way than just being one of the > command near the end.
