Subject: [PATCH] Work around ash "alternate value" expansion bug
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 01:47:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240044459-57227-1-git-send-email-ben@ben.com> (raw)
Ash (used as /bin/sh on many distros) has a shell expansion bug
for the form ${var:+word word}. The result is a single argument
"word word". Work around by using ${var:+word} ${var:+word} or
equivalent.

I found this by accident while testing another trivial git-am patch.
It was broken about a week ago in git-am.sh by f79d4c8a and one of the
test cases caught it on FreeBSD.
The other instance has been around longer and I found it by grepping.
I added a new testcase (none too exciting) which exposes the problem.
There are more instances of ${x:+alt} which don't have spaces which I
did not touch.
For the curious:
bash on linux:
$ parent=ok
$ echo ${parent:+-p $parent}
-p ok
$ for i in ${parent:+-p $parent} ; do echo .$i; done
.-p
.ok
ash (/bin/sh) on freebsd:
$ parent=ok
$ echo ${parent:+-p $parent}
-p ok
$ for i in ${parent:+-p $parent} ; do echo .$i; done
.-p ok
This is probably a bug in ash. It does expand ${foo:+*} into many words.
