Be it done with "diff --abbrev" at the toplevel or your "cut", that may not be unique enough in the submodule. I think you would want to read full 40-char sha1_src and sha1_dst with "while read", and keep that full 40-char in these variables, and use them when calling rev-parse here. If you are checking if that the object exists in the submodule, use "rev-parse --verify", which was designed for exactly that purpose. If you also want to verify if the object is a commit, which may be a good idea anyway, "rev-parse --verify $sha1_src^0". To be portable, use traditional ">/dev/null 2>&1", not ">&/dev/null". > + case "$unfound_src,$unfound_dst" in > + t,) > + errmsg=" Warn: $name doesn't contain commit $sha1_src" > + ;; > + ,t) > + errmsg=" Warn: $name doesn't contain commit $sha1_dst" > + ;; > + t,t) > + errmsg=" Warn: $name doesn't contain commits $sha1_src and $sha1_dst" > + ;; When reporting errors, you would want to give full 40-chars... > + *) > + left= > + right= > + test -n "$check_src" && > + left=$(GIT_DIR="$name/.git" git log --pretty=format:" <%s" \ > + ${check_dst:+$sha1_dst..}$sha1_src 2>/dev/null) > + > + test -n "$check_dst" && > + right=$(GIT_DIR="$name/.git" git log --reverse --pretty=format:" >%s" \ > + ${check_src:+$sha1_src..}$sha1_dst 2>/dev/null) > + ;; > + esac > + > + echo "* $name $sha1_src...$sha1_dst:" While reporting like this, you would want the shortened form, perhaps produced your "cut -c1-7". > + if test -n "$errmsg" > + then > + echo "$errmsg" > + else > + test -n "$left" && echo "$left" > + test -n "$right" && echo "$right" > + fi > + echo > + ) | sed 's/^/# /' > + done I'd prefer to always have "-e" before the sed expression. Any reason why you want separate invocation of sed inside the while loop? IOW, why isn't it like this? git diff --raw | while read ... do ... done | sed -e 's/^/# /' > + > cd "$cwd" Hmmm. - 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
