What about: git submodule --quiet foreach 'echo a b "c d" "$sha1"' That is, does presenting the entire command as a single argument to git still manage to interpolate the shell variable and preserve the double space between c and d while doing word splitting between a and b? -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
