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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto --- t/t0010-racy-git.sh | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t0010-racy-git.sh b/t/t0010-racy-git.sh index e45a9e4..5657c5a 100755 --- a/t/t0010-racy-git.sh +++ b/t/t0010-racy-git.sh @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ do git update-index --add infocom echo xyzzy >infocom - files=`git diff-files -p` + files=$(git diff-files -p) test_expect_success \ "Racy GIT trial #$trial part A" \ 'test "" != "$files"' @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ do echo xyzzy >cornerstone git update-index --add cornerstone - files=`git diff-files -p` + files=$(git diff-files -p) test_expect_success \ "Racy GIT trial #$trial part B" \ 'test "" != "$files"' -- 1.7.10.4
