Ok, ok, I heard all of you. I think "sed -e 'script' file" is better because it is one letter shorter than with "<" rediretion, nothing else.

I merely was shooting for rejecting an obvious crap, not aiming for perfection.

Here is the final one. Let's stop wasting time and go on with our lives ;-)

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] t5540-http-push.sh: avoid non-portable grep -P
OS X's GNU grep does not support -P/--perl-regexp.

We use a basic RE instead, and simplify the pattern slightly by replacing '+' with '*' so it can be more easily expressed using a basic RE. The important part of pattern, checking for a SHA-1 has suffix in the successful PUT/MOVE operations, remains the same. Also, a-z instead of a-f was an obvious mistake in the original RE. Here are samples of what we want to match:

127.0.0.1 - - [26/Feb/2009:22:38:13 +0000] "PUT /test_repo.git/objects/3e/a4fbb9e18a401a6463c595d08118fcb9fb7426_fab55116904c665a95438bcc78521444a7db6096 HTTP/1.1" 201 277 127.0.0.1 - - [26/Feb/2009:22:38:13 +0000] "MOVE /test_repo.git/objects/3e/a4fbb9e18a401a6463c595d08118fcb9fb7426_fab55116904c665a95438bcc78521444a7db6096 HTTP/1.1" 201 277
