[PATCH 2/6] run-command: convert simple callsites to use_shell

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Dec 30, 2009, 10:53 UTC
Message-ID
<20091230105357.GB22959@coredump.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20091230095634.GA16349@coredump.intra.peff.net>

Now that we have the use_shell feature, these callsites can all be converted with small changes.

Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

These should be non-controversial.
