I dunno how portable is, but "[" is an old unix alias > for "test" ... it certainly predates bash... Correct. [[ ... ]] is new and spelling out "test" indeed is more traditionalist than [ ... ], but for contrib/subtree/ that does not work with anything but bash, I do not think such a rewrite has much merit in the first place. Being consistently "bash script" (as opposed to being old-style) is more appropriate for it. -- 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
