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/t5900-repo-selection.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t5900-repo-selection.sh b/t/t5900-repo-selection.sh index 3d5b418..14e59c5 100755 --- a/t/t5900-repo-selection.sh +++ b/t/t5900-repo-selection.sh @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ make_tree() { make_bare() { git init --bare "$1" && (cd "$1" && - tree=`git hash-object -w -t tree /dev/null` && + tree=$(git hash-object -w -t tree /dev/null) && commit=$(echo "$1" | git commit-tree $tree) && git update-ref HEAD $commit ) -- 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
