Hi again, I managed to have a working solution for "d) add a check for the bash version to the top of the test in t/" Please see diff below. This unbreaks the test suite here. Is this a good way forward? Filipe, does the code line you mention above work for you? If yes: I can test it here, if you send it as a patch. /Torsten diff --git a/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh b/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh old mode 100644 new mode 100755 index 6e4e078..ea3d0f3 --- a/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh +++ b/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh @@ -13,6 +13,15 @@ compare_refs() { test_cmp expect actual } +cat >"testbashArray" <<-EOF + declare -A assa +EOF + +/bin/bash testbashArray || { + skip_all='t5801. /bin/bash does not handle associative arrays' + test_done +} + test_expect_success 'setup repository' ' git init server && (cd server && -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
