I didn't know that "!sh -c" is not needed "sh -c" is often used when you pass arguments to your scriptlets, e.g. to allow git lg master..next you would want sh -c 'git log ... "$@" | sed ...' - so that git lg master..next turns into sh -c 'git log ... "$@" | sed ...' - master..next which makes $1="master..next" and fed to "git log". -- 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
