Yes, this is the right thread and no, it isn't fixed yet.

Many submodule tests are broken.
One problem is here:
lib-submodule-update.sh:264: possible problem: echo -n is not portable (please use printf): echo -n >sub1 &&
lib-submodule-update.sh:507: possible problem: echo -n is not portable (please use printf): echo -n >sub1 &&
You can remove the "empty" "echo -n" to create an empty file:
sub1 &&
Thanks for spotting and diagnosing this. Running "make lint" in the
test directory only feeds the tests to check-non-portable-shell.pl,
but not the *lib*.sh helper scripts, which made me miss this one.
The following diff should fix it for you. Am I understanding you
correctly that you are experiencing other failures too? I see no
other incompatibilities when running ./check-non-portable-shell.pl
on all the shell scripts in the repo.
The longer story is that I run the test suite once a week or so.
Most often under Mac OS, sometimes cygwin or Linux.
Whenever there is a breakage under Mac OS which I can not
debug within some minutes, I run it under Linux to see if there
is the same breakage.
The ./check-non-portable-shell.pl can sometimes give an indication
why some test fail.
You can run it from command line:
./check-non-portable-shell.pl *.sh
and it will find the "echo -n" which I reported.
On the longer run it could probably check all *.sh files,
not only the ones under t/
I do not have the time to test the snipped patch below, but I can check pu
when the next round of your patch is in and give you some more info.
