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/t1002-read-tree-m-u-2way.sh | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t1002-read-tree-m-u-2way.sh b/t/t1002-read-tree-m-u-2way.sh index a847709..fed877b 100755 --- a/t/t1002-read-tree-m-u-2way.sh +++ b/t/t1002-read-tree-m-u-2way.sh @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ compare_change () { } check_cache_at () { - clean_if_empty=`git diff-files -- "$1"` + clean_if_empty=$(git diff-files -- "$1") case "$clean_if_empty" in '') echo "$1: clean" ;; ?*) echo "$1: dirty" ;; @@ -41,14 +41,14 @@ test_expect_success \ echo bozbar >bozbar && echo rezrov >rezrov && git update-index --add nitfol bozbar rezrov && - treeH=`git write-tree` && + treeH=$(git write-tree) && echo treeH $treeH && git ls-tree $treeH && echo gnusto >bozbar && git update-index --add frotz bozbar --force-remove rezrov && git ls-files --stage >M.out && - treeM=`git write-tree` && + treeM=$(git write-tree) && echo treeM $treeM && git ls-tree $treeM && sum bozbar frotz nitfol >M.sum && @@ -318,7 +318,7 @@ test_expect_success \ 'rm -f .git/index && echo DF >DF && git update-index --add DF && - treeDF=`git write-tree` && + treeDF=$(git write-tree) && echo treeDF $treeDF && git ls-tree $treeDF && @@ -326,7 +326,7 @@ test_expect_success \ mkdir DF && echo DF/DF >DF/DF && git update-index --add --remove DF DF/DF && - treeDFDF=`git write-tree` && + treeDFDF=$(git write-tree) && echo treeDFDF $treeDFDF && git ls-tree $treeDFDF && git ls-files --stage >DFDF.out' -- 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
