Make test on AIX

Hi all,

I just got through a rather painful build and install of 1.5.6.1 on AIX and I was wondering if anyone has any clues on how to get the tests to run a bit better there.

The first thing I encountered was that because the tests all use #!/bin/sh the exit code was not what the tests expected. So I ended up running 'make SHELL=`which bash` all' directly in the git/t/ directory. That seemed to shake out and work for most of the tests except for t/t7502-commit.sh. Try as I might, I could not get SHELL_PATH set to anything but /bin/sh except to hard-code the SHELL_PATH in this script.

Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to get the test suite to work? If so, I appreciate any advice. If not, does anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this and create a patch for git to submit? I don't claim to be a make or bash expert, so go easy on me if I've missed something obvious ;-)

Any help appreciated!

Cheers, Craig
