When I talk about nested function, I mean f() { g() { ... } } Obviously, having functions call each other is not an issue. That's what functions are meant to be. Now, having run_specific_rebase_internal include a file which defines functions which contain nested functions _is_ something I find weird. It both stresses the shell in a buggy area and makes the code harder to understand. > The problem with these changes, particularly the git-rebase-- > interactive.sh one is that a bunch of code is still run when the file > is "dot" included. Function definitions, and variables assignments. Is it so much of an issue? What's the difference between a function definition or variable assignment within git-rebase--*.sh and within git-rebase.sh? -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
