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' ${_f} done Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto --- t/t2102-update-index-symlinks.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t2102-update-index-symlinks.sh b/t/t2102-update-index-symlinks.sh index 4d0d0a3..22f2c73 100755 --- a/t/t2102-update-index-symlinks.sh +++ b/t/t2102-update-index-symlinks.sh @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ git update-index symlink' test_expect_success \ 'the index entry must still be a symbolic link' ' -case "`git ls-files --stage --cached symlink`" in +case "$(git ls-files --stage --cached symlink)" in 120000" "*symlink) echo pass;; *) echo fail; git ls-files --stage --cached symlink; (exit 1);; esac' -- 1.7.10.4
