Hello,
I noticed in my environment (AIX, ksh) that all rebase tests don't work.
git-rebase terminates with
git-rebase[6]: Syntax error at line 3 : `newline or ;' is not expected.
Digging deeper I found the problem in git-rebase--interactive line 85
<snip>
strategy_args=${strategy:+--strategy=$strategy}
eval '
for strategy_opt in '"$strategy_opts"'
do
strategy_args="$strategy_args -X$(git rev-parse
--sq-quote "${strategy_opt#--}")"
done
'
<snip>
This snippet fails when $strategy_opts is empty or undefined... and my
eval seems not to like this.
The for loop runs fine, even with empty strategy_opts, but not inside eval.
I fail to see why eval is really necessary here. Things can probably
be done without eval, but I
don't feel to see the big picture around this code.
My quick and dirty hotfix is to place a
test -n "$strategy_opts" &&
in front of the eval.
The tests run fine after this change.
What do you think?
Armin
