(Split from the "ignore return status of shell's unset builtin" thread)
It would be nice if there was documentation describing how to write portable code for various parts of Git. Basically a bullet-point aggregate of the subjects of various patches we keep getting from users of IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX etc. E.g:
* Use FOO=bar and then export FOO, not export FOO=bar
* Don't check the return value of unset, Solaris ...
I could contribute some of these for Perl.
