OK, you prodded me enough to come to 21st century ;-). I was hoping that doing .git/objects/ traversal and disk block accounting ourselves maybe in C or Perl would be enough for that particular program, but I would not object if the community concensus is we would run on only POSIX shells anymore. I still resist saying that we run only on Bash, though. I suspect we already have some bashism on the periphery, but eradicating them has been lower priority for me. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Fri Oct 28 04:01:12 2005
