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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t3210-pack-refs.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t3210-pack-refs.sh b/t/t3210-pack-refs.sh index 1a2080e..b0eaf22 100755 --- a/t/t3210-pack-refs.sh +++ b/t/t3210-pack-refs.sh @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ SHA1= test_expect_success \ 'see if git show-ref works as expected' \ 'git branch a && - SHA1=`cat .git/refs/heads/a` && + SHA1=$(cat .git/refs/heads/a) && echo "$SHA1 refs/heads/a" >expect && git show-ref a >result && test_cmp expect result' -- 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
