Re: [PATCH] test-lib: avoid full path to store test results

Thanks. I know that posix support these usages, but exists some
traditional shell that not support it. These are described in the
autoconf manual, last time i have checked. As the construct ; export
var = x should be portable, but it is not. If this is important these
days i don't know.

The shell word splitting done in base is a bashism, iow not portable.

No, ${varname##glob} is in POSIX and we already use it here and there.
See Documentation/CodingGuidelines:

   - We use ${parameter#word} and its [#%] siblings, and their
     doubled "longest matching" form.

Thanks for looking the patch over.
