You probably missed the context. Brian pointed out that my patch said "printf ''" when it should have said "printf '\n'". I responded that my commit says the right thing, but somewhere along the lines of transforming beautiful Git commits into mails it must have been lost.

The explanation you quoted is the essence of the problem of my script to prepare mails for submission to the mailing list: the script works in Bash, but fails in Dash. And as my script has the shebang "#!/bin/sh" and as Ubuntu defaults to using the Dash as its /bin/sh, we now have the full explanation why my first mail showed an incorrect patch.

Ciao, Johannes
