So funny things happen if there are spaces or metacharacters. It looks like you only use it with short relative paths ("../repo.git", etc), which is OK, but this would probably break badly if we ever used absolute paths. I don't know if it's worth worrying about or not. The usual solution is something like: env_git_dir=$2 env='GIT_DIR=$env_git_dir; export GIT_DIR' ... eval "$env" > @@ -36,6 +38,8 @@ test_rev_parse () { > do > expect="$1" > test_expect_success "$name: $o" ' > + test_when_finished "sane_unset GIT_DIR" && > + eval $env && I was surprised not to see quoting around $env here, but it probably doesn't matter (I think it may affect how some whitespace is treated, but the contents of $env are pretty tame). This will set up the sane_unset regardless of whether $env does anything. Would it make more sense to stick the test_when_finished inside $env? You could use regular unset then, too, since you know the variable would be set. -Peff -- 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
