[PATCH] t7800: avoid arithmetic expansion notation

From: Michael J Gruber <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:52:15
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

ba959de (git-difftool: allow skipping file by typing 'n' at prompt, 2011-10-08)
introduced shell code like

$((foo; bar) | baz)

which some shells (e.g. bash, dash) interpret as an unfinished arithmetic
evaluation $(( expr )).

Write this as

$({foo; bar; } | baz)

which is unambiguous and also avoids an unnecessary subshell.
