From: Elia Pinto Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:23:15 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 054/142] t5301-sliding-window.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution Message-ID: <1395768283-31135-55-git-send-email-gitter.spiros@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1395768283-31135-1-git-send-email-gitter.spiros@gmail.com> 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 --- t/t5301-sliding-window.sh | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t5301-sliding-window.sh b/t/t5301-sliding-window.sh index 2fc5af6..cae8c2e 100755 --- a/t/t5301-sliding-window.sh +++ b/t/t5301-sliding-window.sh @@ -16,12 +16,12 @@ test_expect_success \ git update-index --add $i || return 1 done && echo d >d && cat c >>d && git update-index --add d && - tree=`git write-tree` && - commit1=`git commit-tree $tree
