OK, thanks! > > ++ sed '1s/^-m \{0,1\}//' >"$logfile" <<-EOF > > ++ $* > > ++ EOF > > ... isn't there a simpler way than piping this through sed? I’ve wondered about this. There are several ways, for example involving printf(1) and manipulating $1 in shell, but they all amount to more code and not better either. > does that regex really do the same as ${@#-m}? it seems there's some > whitespace and anchoring stuff going on here that would subtly change > behavior... ${@#-m} is not specified what it does. The intent of the patch is to remove either '-m' as first parameter or the leading '-m' from the first parameter, then concatenate all parameters and write them into the logfile. What my code does is: first concatenate. This uses the first byte in $IFS, which is a space, so we have '$*' expand to '$1 $2 $3 …' (of course no spaces if the next parameters are not set). Then it strips a leading either '-m' (second case above) or '-m ' (first case above: -m as a parameter of its own) from *ONLY* the first line. Consider this: etckeeper commit -m 'foo bar -mbaz' The user clearly expects the second line to start with “-m”. Use of a here document instead of echo also fixes the following: etckeeper commit -m -n foo etckeeper commit -m -c foo etckeeper commit -m 'foo\tbar' (The behaviour of echo(1) is also not specified, or rather, implementation-defined, if the arguments start with a hyphen-minus or contain a backslash.) > https://etckeeper.branchable.com/todo/ This seems to be a static page? I don’t find out how to do that. > Let me know if you want me to carry that for you.
