Subject: Work around ash "alternate value" expansion bug
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.3-rc2~38
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea10b60c910e4a23483f47f17becc5e58f07ebe9;p=git.git

Work around ash "alternate value" expansion bug

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.
