[PATCH] rebase: Fix documentation about used shell in -x

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The shell used when using the -x option is the one pointed to by the
SHELL_PATH constant at build time. This erroneous statement in the
documentation sent me on a 10 minute wild goose chase wondering why my
$SHELL was pointing to /bin/bash and my /bin/sh to dash and git was
using dash and not bash.
