2015-12-27unimplemented.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitutionElia Pinto
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`. The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. The patch was generated by: for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}" done and then carefully proof-read.

2009-04-09Makefile: allow building without perlJeff King
For systems with a missing or broken perl, it is nicer to explicitly say "we don't want perl" because: 1. The Makefile knows not to bother with Perl-ish things like Git.pm. 2. We can print a more user-friendly error message than "foo is not a git command" or whatever the broken perl might barf 3. Test scripts that require perl can mark themselves and such and be skipped This patch implements parts (1) and (2). The perl/ subdirectory is skipped entirely, gitweb is not built, and any git commands which rely on perl will print a human-readable message and exit with an error code. This patch is based on one from Robin H. Johnson. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
