It is not bug *PRONE*, but is already wrong, as the way this
variable is used is
+ case "$shared" in
+ *" "*)
+ # we have more than one???
+ false ;;
+ *)
+ test_modebits "$shared" >split_index_mode &&
+ test_cmp index_mode split_index_mode ;;
+ esac
i.e. we'd think there is a singleton ".git/shared/index.*" and we
can feed it to test_modebits.
So what you wrote originally is corrrect.
