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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t1004-read-tree-m-u-wf.sh | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t1004-read-tree-m-u-wf.sh b/t/t1004-read-tree-m-u-wf.sh index 3e72aff..c70cf42 100755 --- a/t/t1004-read-tree-m-u-wf.sh +++ b/t/t1004-read-tree-m-u-wf.sh @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ test_expect_success 'two-way not clobbering' ' echo >file2 master creates untracked file2 && echo >subdir/file2 master creates untracked subdir/file2 && - if err=`read_tree_u_must_succeed -m -u master side 2>&1` + if err=$(read_tree_u_must_succeed -m -u master side 2>&1) then echo should have complained false @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ echo file2 >.gitignore test_expect_success 'two-way with incorrect --exclude-per-directory (1)' ' - if err=`read_tree_u_must_succeed -m --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore master side 2>&1` + if err=$(read_tree_u_must_succeed -m --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore master side 2>&1) then echo should have complained false @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ test_expect_success 'two-way with incorrect --exclude-per-directory (1)' ' test_expect_success 'two-way with incorrect --exclude-per-directory (2)' ' - if err=`read_tree_u_must_succeed -m -u --exclude-per-directory=foo --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore master side 2>&1` + if err=$(read_tree_u_must_succeed -m -u --exclude-per-directory=foo --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore master side 2>&1) then echo should have complained false @@ -95,7 +95,7 @@ test_expect_success 'three-way not clobbering a working tree file' ' git checkout master && echo >file3 file three created in master, untracked && echo >subdir/file3 file three created in master, untracked && - if err=`read_tree_u_must_succeed -m -u branch-point master side 2>&1` + if err=$(read_tree_u_must_succeed -m -u branch-point master side 2>&1) then echo should have complained false -- 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
