I still think it makes the test > suite more portable. Having wrestled with Solaris tr, I can understand where you are coming from. However, does this _actually_ increase the portability of the test suite? That is, are there failing tests that this fixes, and if so, for which platforms (getting a successful run of the test suite on Solaris is still on my long-term todo, but I thought I had fixed all of the tr issues)? Or is your rationale "this will prevent people from screwing up the test scripts accidentally in the future"? I am not opposed to the latter, but I think it makes sense to state it clearly in the commit message. -Peff -- 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
