Some POSIX compliant shells barf if you unset a variable that is not set, so the answer to my question is yes only if we know these three variables are always set. > + eval "$(cat .git/rebase-merge/author-script)" && > + test "$(git show --quiet --pretty=format:%an)" = "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" && > + test "$(git show --quiet --pretty=format:%ae)" = "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" && > + test "$(git show --quiet --date=raw --pretty=format:@%ad)" = "$GIT_AUTHOR_DATE" Oh, actually it is even worse than that. What if author-script is bogus, like in the version before your patch fixes the code? We do not restore the AUTHOR_NAME/EMAIL/DATE after this test_expect_success fails. How does that, i.e. missing some variable, affect execution of later steps in this same test script? I _think_ the right and safe way to fix taht is to do something like this: test -f .git/rebase-merge/author-script && ( safe_unset GIT_AUTHOR_NAME GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL ... && eval "$(cat .git/rebase-merge/author-script)" && test ... && test ... && test ... ) That way, we won't have to worry about GIT_AUTHOR_* variables getting modified and affecting the tests that come later in the script. > +' > + > test_expect_success 'rebase -i with the exec command' ' > git checkout master && > ( > -- > 2.18.0
