Hi,
It looks like we are very inconsistent in shell scripts about indenting lines starting with "die" after a line that ends with "||", like:
quite long command || die "command failed"
For example in git-rebase--interactive.sh, there is often, but not always, an extra tab before the die.
It looks like there are no rules about that in Documentation/CodingGuidelines.
Also emacs in shell-script mode is reluctant to add a tab in front of "die" in such a case.
I wonder if we should state a preference for no extra tab in Documentation/CodingGuidelines.
Thanks, Christian.
