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/t1511-rev-parse-caret.sh | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t1511-rev-parse-caret.sh b/t/t1511-rev-parse-caret.sh index 15973f2..7043ba7 100755 --- a/t/t1511-rev-parse-caret.sh +++ b/t/t1511-rev-parse-caret.sh @@ -6,11 +6,11 @@ test_description='tests for ref^{stuff}' test_expect_success 'setup' ' echo blob >a-blob && - git tag -a -m blob blob-tag `git hash-object -w a-blob` && + git tag -a -m blob blob-tag $(git hash-object -w a-blob) && mkdir a-tree && echo moreblobs >a-tree/another-blob && git add . && - TREE_SHA1=`git write-tree` && + TREE_SHA1=$(git write-tree) && git tag -a -m tree tree-tag "$TREE_SHA1" && git commit -m Initial && git tag -a -m commit commit-tag && -- 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
