Re: [PATCH] Fix use of wc in t0000-basic

Sorry, I am not sure whose fault it was, and the recollection comes from my distant past. It could have been that the smallish shell in that semi-embedded environment had an incompatible built-in "test" command which was burning me, but I distinctively remember changing many of the vendor supplied shell script that had:

    if test " $number" -eq 3
    then
        ...

either stripping dq around it or simply removing the space from there, depending on how that $number was generated.

Since I assume we are only talking about portability across POSIXy world I do not think this is a big issue.
