The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $( ... ) construct for command substitution instead of using the back-quotes, or grave accents (`..`).
The backquoted form is the historical method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. Because of this the POSIX shell adopted the $(…) feature from the Korn shell. The patch was generated by the simple script for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spi...@gmail.com> --- t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh b/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh index e07eaf3..232c5ac 100755 --- a/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh +++ b/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh @@ -218,7 +218,7 @@ test -n "$GIT_TEST_LONG" && test_set_prereq EXPENSIVE test_expect_success EXPENSIVE 'create 50,000 tags in the repo' ' ( cd "$HTTPD_DOCUMENT_ROOT_PATH/repo.git" && - for i in `test_seq 50000` + for i in $(test_seq 50000) do echo "commit refs/heads/too-many-refs" echo "mark :$i" -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
