I can buy that, but at least a single line comment in front of that system() explaining why this is safe to do so would be beneficial. I suspect that somebody would propose moving $compse_filename inside $GIT_DIR, now people realized $compose_filename is currently "./.msg.$$", and $GIT_DIR could be anything. Quotemeta would probably be better as the code you are touching won't be affected by a future change to the value of that constant defined far away in the source. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
