Re: [PATCH 1/3] Call extended-semantics commands through variables.

I'm not sure what's up with cpio, but git causes pkgsrc's default cpio to segfault on my Solaris machines. It's easier to point CPIO at a different cpio than debug a utility I've never really used. ;) I thought it was git-clone breaking in the tests, but it could have been git-merge. I'll check again when I get a chance.

And I worry about using different programs in different scripts, so I just changed all of them.

 - (BTW, you got count-objects one wrong; there is a leftover 
 - GIT_FIND there).

Friday afternoon patching, sorry. That also means either that count-objects has no test cases or that branch of it is not exercised by tests.

 - The places we _do_ use -0 currently should be converted
 - with something like your patch to use -0 capable version of the
 - tool.

Again, I'm not very comfortable using different finds or xargs in different places. But if you want, I'll re-do the patch with just those locations changed, and I'll double- check which cpio invocation is breaking.

 - [...] but nobody should be using rsync transfer anyway,
 - so...

Is there a better way of grabbing all the tags now? I haven't kept track, as I haven't had to do that in a while.
