OK. I think this case what the patch does is the right thing. If we were creating a huge tar archive and have the downstream only consuming for a small disk footprint (e.g., "git archive | tar tf -"), use of pipe (and loss of exit status) may be justified, but I do not think that is the case here. > Also refactor an existing use of '>' to avoid having a space after > '>', according to Documentation/CodingGuidelines. It may be just me, but I wouldn't call that "refactor", which we often use to refer to changing the way an existing functional unit works internally, by splitting the innard of a function into separate helper functions, by replacing the open-coded duplicate with calls to such helper functions, etc. Correcting the coding style violation is merely a "fix". Also fix an unwanted space after '>' redirection to match the style in CodingGuidelines. In any case, the patch text looks good.
