This looks good to me (and it works on my machine).
However, I took a look at the "write_script" function and found this,
added by Junio in 840c519d:
echo "#!${2-"$SHELL_PATH"}" &&
There is some kind of variable expansion happening with the "2-" but
I can't quite figure out what is going on. Plus, I can't find anything
about this in the sh docs.
Can anyone help me to understand it?
Thanks,
Lars
