Subject: [PATCH] git-am: head -1 is obsolete and doesn't work on some new systems
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:43:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4857A37D.8040004@geeks.cl> (raw)
head -<n> was deprecated by POSIX, and as modern versions of coreutils
package don't support it at least one exports _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
it's fails on some systems.
head -n<n> is portable, but sed <n>q is even more.
