Yes. Mind to fix that locally, or waiting for a resend?

$ grep -r "log --oneline | wc -l"
t6050-replace.sh: test $(git log --oneline | wc -l) = 7 &&
t6050-replace.sh: test $(git log --oneline | wc -l) = 3 &&
t7406-submodule-update.sh: test 1 = $(git -C submodule log --oneline | wc -l)
t7406-submodule-update.sh: test 1 = $(git -C submodule log --oneline | wc -l)
t7400-submodule-basic.sh: test 1 = $(git log --oneline | wc -l)

All of the occurrences are not white space sensitive AFAICT,
they are just bad examples, which may inspire others to follow
that pattern.

Thanks,
Stefan
