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/t6032-merge-large-rename.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t6032-merge-large-rename.sh b/t/t6032-merge-large-rename.sh index 15beecc..36019df 100755 --- a/t/t6032-merge-large-rename.sh +++ b/t/t6032-merge-large-rename.sh @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ test_expect_success 'setup (initial)' ' make_text() { echo $1: $2 - for i in `count 20`; do + for i in $(count 20); do echo $1: $i done echo $1: $3 -- 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
