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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t5516-fetch-push.sh | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t5516-fetch-push.sh b/t/t5516-fetch-push.sh index 67e0ab3..a9ed84e 100755 --- a/t/t5516-fetch-push.sh +++ b/t/t5516-fetch-push.sh @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ This test checks the following functionality: . ./test-lib.sh -D=`pwd` +D=$(pwd) mk_empty () { repo_name="$1" @@ -421,7 +421,7 @@ test_expect_success 'push tag with non-existent, incomplete dest' ' test_expect_success 'push sha1 with non-existent, incomplete dest' ' mk_test testrepo && - test_must_fail git push testrepo `git rev-parse master`:foo + test_must_fail git push testrepo $(git rev-parse master):foo ' -- 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
