None of us (including this reviewer) is perfect and that is why we review patches by each other. > This version removes the the beginning of a line starting with > "diff --git" from the string,... Again, what are we testing, exactly? We do not want to see "^diff --git" in the output file, in other words, we want to make sure "^diff --git" does not appear in the output. So write_script check-for-no-diff <<-\EOF ! grep '^diff --git' "$@" EOF should be the most natural way to express what we are testing, no? -- 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
