s/closing single quote/& and the terminating newline/?
This patch makes .git/rebase-merge/author-script actually parsable by
sh(1) by adding a single quote and a linefeed to terminate the line
properly.
Sounds good.
I wonder why this breakage was left unnoticed for a long time,
though. It's not like writing and reading the author-script from C
code was done first in the "rebase -i" and friends that are users of
the sequencer machinery
The only consumer of a faulty author script written by the sequencer is
read_env_script() in sequencer.c which doesn't worry about checking that
quotes are paired. The shell versions of rebase use the code in
git-sh-setup.sh to create the author script which does write valid posix
shell.
(I think we had code to do so in "git am"
that was rewritten in C first).
The code in builtin/am.c doesn't try to write valid posix shell (if one
assumes it is the only consumer of the author script then it doesn't
need to) which results in simpler code, but external scripts cannot
safely eval it anymore.
Do we have a similar issue over
there as well? If not, perhaps if we reused the existing code that
was not broken, we wouldn't have seen this breakage on the sequencer
side?
Best Wishes
Phillip
Thanks.
