[PATCH 2/4] contrib/subtree: stop using `-o` to test for number of args

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Nov 9, 2023, 10:53 UTC
Message-ID
<b1ea45b8a8884d09ab070bb0f099834447d28938.1699526999.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1699526999.git.ps@pks.im>

Functions in git-subtree.sh all assert that they are being passed the correct number of arguments. In cases where we accept a variable number of arguments we assert this via a single call to `test` with `-o`, which is discouraged by our coding guidelines.

Convert these cases to stop doing so.
