I think the right question is: PATH=$PATH:$(git --exec-path) . git-sh-setup or . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup" ? Generally, I would prefer the latter because it has no side effects. For now at least, though, shell scripts probably want git's exec-path in their PATH so "git-foo" invocations don't break. -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
