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> --- unimplemented.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/unimplemented.sh b/unimplemented.sh index 5252de4..fee21d2 100644 --- a/unimplemented.sh +++ b/unimplemented.sh @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ #!/bin/sh -echo >&2 "fatal: git was built without support for `basename $0` (@@REASON@@)." +echo >&2 "fatal: git was built without support for $(basename $0) (@@REASON@@)." exit 128 -- 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
