Note that you can make the shell die on trying to expand a nonexisting variable by changing its error mode by executing the set -u builtin command. I'd also recommend to insert set -e -u in your scripts to make the shell also die upon executing commands that fail instead of chugging away happily. Shell programming with these settings active requires certain discipline but it's actually a good thing and helps debugging errors like the yours. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
