Just a note:
this doesn't work with bash 3.2. I think they altered the way of
trimming variables in this version.
on systems with bash 3.2 installed, i get
[master!linus-2.6/vm/vm]$
with the example above.
on systems with bash 3.1, it works properly.
Sorry bout that, I knew it was a bit fragile. Was rather
comical reading Junio's recent message about all the things not
to do if you want portable shell code and noticing my 6 line script
did 90% of them ;o) Strange though, I downloaded Bash 3.2
and gave it a try and didn't see the problem here..
Wanna try this small change, to see if it helps? :
#!/bin/bash
BR=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null) || { echo "$@" ; exit ; }
BR=${BR#refs/heads/}
REL=$(git rev-parse --show-prefix)
REL="${REL%\/}"
LOC="${PWD%/$REL}"
echo "[$BR!${LOC/*\/}${REL:+/$REL}]$ "
That one did the job... funny, removing these two // did the job, for
both versions,
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu) and
GNU bash, version 3.2.5(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu).
Thx for fixing that script. It really helps me.
Sincerly
Nicolas
