Yeah, it would be a good thing to get rid of any bashisms, but to _keep_
it working somebody would then need to test every once in a while that it
still works ;)
I'll see what I can do. As I'm planning on running git on both FreeBSD
and DragonFly for the forseeable future, and plan to track git's
evolution (running stable releases if not more bleeding-edge code), I
can run the test suite every time I build a new git.
