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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t1003-read-tree-prefix.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t1003-read-tree-prefix.sh b/t/t1003-read-tree-prefix.sh index 8c6d67e..b6111cd 100755 --- a/t/t1003-read-tree-prefix.sh +++ b/t/t1003-read-tree-prefix.sh @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ test_description='git read-tree --prefix test. test_expect_success setup ' echo hello >one && git update-index --add one && - tree=`git write-tree` && + tree=$(git write-tree) && echo tree is $tree ' -- 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
