The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $( ... ) construct for command substitution instead of using the back-quotes, or grave accents (`..`). The backquoted form is the historical method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. Because of this the POSIX shell adopted the $(…) feature from the Korn shell. The patch was generated by the simple script for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- git-rebase--merge.sh | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-rebase--merge.sh b/git-rebase--merge.sh index 5381857..dc064f8 100644 --- a/git-rebase--merge.sh +++ b/git-rebase--merge.sh @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ continue_merge () { die "$resolvemsg" fi - cmt=`cat "$state_dir/current"` + cmt=$(cat "$state_dir/current") if ! git diff-index --quiet --ignore-submodules HEAD -- then if ! git commit ${gpg_sign_opt:+"$gpg_sign_opt"} --no-verify -C "$cmt" @@ -132,7 +132,7 @@ echo "$onto_name" > "$state_dir/onto_name" write_basic_state msgnum=0 -for cmt in `git rev-list --reverse --no-merges "$revisions"` +for cmt in $(git rev-list --reverse --no-merges "$revisions") do msgnum=$(($msgnum + 1)) echo "$cmt" > "$state_dir/cmt.$msgnum" -- 1.7.10.4 -- 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
