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/t3600-rm.sh | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t3600-rm.sh b/t/t3600-rm.sh index 3d30581..96f7949 100755 --- a/t/t3600-rm.sh +++ b/t/t3600-rm.sh @@ -115,7 +115,7 @@ test_expect_success '"rm" command printed' ' git add test-file && git commit -m "add file for rm test" && git rm test-file > rm-output && - test `grep "^rm " rm-output | wc -l` = 1 && + test $(grep "^rm " rm-output | wc -l) = 1 && rm -f test-file rm-output && git commit -m "remove file from rm test" ' @@ -125,7 +125,7 @@ test_expect_success '"rm" command suppressed with --quiet' ' git add test-file && git commit -m "add file for rm --quiet test" && git rm --quiet test-file > rm-output && - test `wc -l < rm-output` = 0 && + test $(wc -l < rm-output) = 0 && rm -f test-file rm-output && git commit -m "remove file from rm --quiet test" ' -- 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
