Using "test" is a style thing, but using "=" rather than "==" is a portability issue. "==" is accepted by bash as a synonym for "=", but its not valid elsewhere. I've made my fair share of patches with "==" in them, only to have someone else have a problem on their system and then submit a fix to change them to "=". Just say no to "==" in Git shell scripts. ;-) > > + # get immediate parents of each commit to include > > + parents= > > + for c in $commits ; do > > + parents="$parents $(git-rev-list --parents $c | head -1 | cut -b42-)" > > + done > > Nicely done, but you seemed to have used "head -n 1" elsewhere, > which is more portable. What about: parents="$parents $(git-rev-list --max-count=1 --parents $c | cut -b42-)" ? I just used that trick recently. Oh yea it was in git-gui's GIT-VERSION-GEN script. Though I did not know about using cut like that... -- Shawn. - 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
