I'll push this tomorrow: >From dd45755406861fc192284d7e2b28f3c33e0433d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyer...@redhat.com> Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2010 14:23:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tests: don't disqualify FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh just yet,
because dash-0.5.6-2.fc14.x86_64 would also be disqualified. This reverts part of yesterday's commit 6c058b2d, "tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh". Note that the offending aspect of those shells is not officially a bug, since "local" is not specified by POSIX. However, it is very unintuitive that prepending "local" to an existing, standards-compliant assignment would evoke such a fundamental change in semantics. * tests/init.sh: Remove snippet requiring sane "local" support.
