[PATCH 2/2] t0300: use write_script helper

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date

Message-ID

t0300 creates some helper shell scripts, and marks them with "!/bin/sh". Even though the scripts are fairly simple, they can fail on broken shells (specifically, Solaris /bin/sh will persist a temporary assignment to IFS in a "read" command).

Rather than work around the problem for Solaris /bin/sh, using write_script will make sure we point to a known-good shell that the user has given us.

This works fine on my Linux box, but just to sanity check that I didn't
screw anything up in the whopping 5 lines of changes, can you confirm
this fixes the issue for you, Ben?
