Because the command line parser of "test" comes from left, notices "-d" and takes the next one to check if it is a directory. There is no value in ${GIT_DIR} can make "test -d ${GIT_DIR} -o ..." fail the same way as the problem Peff pointed out during the discussion. I do not need a subshell for grouping, either. Plain {} should do (but you may need a LF or semicolon after the statement).. > diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac > index 276593cd9dd..d1a96da14eb 100644 > --- a/configure.ac > +++ b/configure.ac > @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ AC_DEFUN([GIT_PARSE_WITH_SET_MAKE_VAR], > [AC_ARG_WITH([$1], > [AS_HELP_STRING([--with-$1=VALUE], $3)], > if test -n "$withval"; then > - if test "$withval" = "yes" -o "$withval" = "no"; then > + if test "$withval" = "yes" || test "$withval" = "no"; then This is correct and is in line with the way generated ./configure protects "if $withval is yes or no, then do this" against a funny value like "-f" in "$withval" breaking the parsing. > diff --git a/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh b/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh > index e0c5d3b0de6..43b5fec7320 100755 > --- a/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh > +++ b/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh > @@ -489,13 +489,13 @@ find_existing_splits () { > ;; > END) > debug "Main is: '$main'" > - if test -z "$main" -a -n "$sub" > + if test -z "$main" && test -n "$sub" This should be OK as-is, for the same reason "-d" operator would not be broken by arbitrary operand.. > then > # squash commits refer to a subtree > debug " Squash: $sq from $sub" > cache_set "$sq" "$sub" > fi > - if test -n "$main" -a -n "$sub" > + if test -n "$main" && test -n "$sub" Ditto. > then > debug " Prior: $main -> $sub" > cache_set $main $sub > diff --git a/t/perf/perf-lib.sh b/t/perf/perf-lib.sh > index e7786775a90..b952e5024b4 100644 > --- a/t/perf/perf-lib.sh > +++ b/t/perf/perf-lib.sh > @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ unset GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM > GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM="$TEST_DIRECTORY/perf/config" > export GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM > > -if test -n "$GIT_TEST_INSTALLED" -a -z "$PERF_SET_GIT_TEST_INSTALLED" > +if test -n "$GIT_TEST_INSTALLED" && test -z "$PERF_SET_GIT_TEST_INSTALLED" Ditto. > then > error "Do not use GIT_TEST_INSTALLED with the perf tests. > > diff --git a/t/perf/run b/t/perf/run > index 34115edec35..486ead21980 100755 > --- a/t/perf/run > +++ b/t/perf/run > @@ -91,10 +91,10 @@ set_git_test_installed () { > run_dirs_helper () { > mydir=${1%/} > shift > - while test $# -gt 0 -a "$1" != -- -a ! -f "$1"; do > + while test $# -gt 0 && test "$1" != -- && test ! -f "$1"; do As "$1" could be anything (including an insanity like "-n"), this change is prudent. > shift > done > - if test $# -gt 0 -a "$1" = --; then > + if test $# -gt 0 && test "$1" = --; then Ditto. > shift > fi > > @@ -124,7 +124,7 @@ run_dirs_helper () { > } > > run_dirs () { > - while test $# -gt 0 -a "$1" != -- -a ! -f "$1"; do > + while test $# -gt 0 && test "$1" != -- && test ! -f "$1"; do > run_dirs_helper "$@" > shift > done > @@ -180,7 +180,8 @@ run_subsection () { > GIT_PERF_AGGREGATING_LATER=t > export GIT_PERF_AGGREGATING_LATER > > - if test $# = 0 -o "$1" = -- -o -f "$1"; then > + if test $# = 0 || test "$1" = -- || test -f "$1" > + then Ditto. > set -- .
