[PATCH] Use backticks instead of $(command) to maintain /bin/sh compatibility

Hello,

* Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] [050507 10:54]:

A quick question.  Which construct in this bashism?
Not using backtick but saying $(command)?

Exactly:

	(faui04a) [~/work/git/git-solaris] git pull
	head => 46dd99f970d283dc0de440c06fca8f4586b70548
	remote => e7d3dd248f50501f98b29c917e70bddcf3ea925a
	base => 74c7cfa875448c71a18d21a0cc7c973afe759fa5
	Documentation/core-git.txt: unmerged (8bd893197e6e769b6e03ca1206e355214e16d56a)

	sha1_file.c: unmerged (7887b6481ae5c9368a24bf053f79dbbc1f039300)
	sha1_file.c: unmerged (f1c1c70d784aa0587cd4c7143c3d464fd8e5ddc6)
	fatal: write-tree: not able to write tree

This is it:
	/home/cip/adm/sithglan/work/git/bin/git-SunOS/bin/git-merge-one-file-script: syntax error at line 55: `orig=$' unexpected
	fatal: merge program failed
	git-merge-cache failed: child exit value: 1 at /home/cip/adm/sithglan/work/git/yagf/git line 1015.

The attached patch at the end of this eMail fixes it for me *without*
touching /bin/sh in the bang:
