[PATCH] die_with_status: use "printf '%s\n'", not "echo"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



At least GNU echo interprets backslashes in its arguments.

This triggered at least one bug: the error message of "rebase -i" was
turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be
others.

Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form
used by the "say" function.
