As follow-up to [1], here's a series that eliminates redundant pipelines, mostly under t/. Spawning a process is notoriously slow on Windows, so this will improve test performance. 1/22 to 14/22 remove redundant uses of "cat" where the shell handles input redirection from a file or the command can take a file argument. 15/22 to 20/22 merge redundant uses of "grep" into the following "sed" or "awk" command. Both of these are capable of filtering themselves. I'm a bit on the fence about this part because readability suffers in some cases. It was a fun exercise, though :-) 21/22 merges multiple "sed" calls into one and replaces a whole "cat | grep | awk" construct with a single "awk" call and uses "sort -u" instead of "sort | uniq". 22/22 finally is a bit of an outlier in that it replaces a subshell with a shell compound command. In the tests, I have completely arbitrarily separated the commits into thousands blocks to keep the commits and their reviews manageable. All tests that I was able to run still pass. I don't have p4 or cvs installed.
