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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t3511-cherry-pick-x.sh | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t3511-cherry-pick-x.sh b/t/t3511-cherry-pick-x.sh index f977279..f60a037 100755 --- a/t/t3511-cherry-pick-x.sh +++ b/t/t3511-cherry-pick-x.sh @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ test_expect_success setup ' test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x inserts blank line after one line subject' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-one-line^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-one-line^0) && git cherry-pick -x mesg-one-line && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_one_line @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -s inserts blank line after non-conforming foot test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x inserts blank line when conforming footer not found' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-no-footer^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-no-footer^0) && git cherry-pick -x mesg-no-footer && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_no_footer @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -s inserts blank line when conforming footer no test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x -s inserts blank line when conforming footer not found' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-no-footer^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-no-footer^0) && git cherry-pick -x -s mesg-no-footer && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_no_footer @@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -s adds sob when last sob doesnt match committe test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x -s adds sob when last sob doesnt match committer' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-with-footer^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-with-footer^0) && git cherry-pick -x -s mesg-with-footer && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_with_footer @@ -169,7 +169,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -s refrains from adding duplicate trailing sob' test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x -s adds sob even when trailing sob exists for committer' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-with-footer-sob^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-with-footer-sob^0) && git cherry-pick -x -s mesg-with-footer-sob && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_with_footer_sob @@ -182,7 +182,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x -s adds sob even when trailing sob exists fo test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x treats "(cherry picked from..." line as part of footer' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-with-cherry-footer^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-with-cherry-footer^0) && git cherry-pick -x mesg-with-cherry-footer && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_with_cherry_footer @@ -205,7 +205,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -s treats "(cherry picked from..." line as part test_expect_success 'cherry-pick -x -s treats "(cherry picked from..." line as part of footer' ' pristine_detach initial && - sha1=`git rev-parse mesg-with-cherry-footer^0` && + sha1=$(git rev-parse mesg-with-cherry-footer^0) && git cherry-pick -x -s mesg-with-cherry-footer && cat <<-EOF >expect && $mesg_with_cherry_footer -- 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
