"git grep 'tail.*+' -- '*.sh'" says that this will the first and only instance of "tail -n +<number>". The syntax may be POSIX but not all /usr/bin/tail unfortunately knows about it. I tend to prefer "sed -n -e '3,$p'" for things like this for portability. Incidentally, the only /usr/bin/tail that is incapable of +number I have access to is so old that it does not even want -n and only wants "tail -3" or "tail +3"; funnily enough, /usr/bin/head there does accept -n. >> Hmmm.

Why not sed out all Signed-off-by lines and make sure all of what you expect to appear do appear in the order you expect them to do? -- 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
