Most modern shells have "echo" as a built-in these days, and do not fork at all to run it. E.g., try "strace sh -c 'echo foo'" with your shell of choice; neither dash nor bash will fork at all. IMHO the indentation issues make the end result of your patch less readable (and here-doc with cat is more readable, but actually _increases_ the number of processes, since cat is not usually a built-in). So I'd be in favor of keeping it as-is. -Peff -- 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
