Re: [PATCH 0/9] remove dead shell code

Peter Baumann [off-list ref] writes:

Hm, I have scripts here, implementing some porcelain commands which
follow the same approach as
the git porcelain scripts, e.g.

  #!/bin/bash
  SUBDIRECTORY_OK=Yes
  . git-sh-setup
  require_work_tree
  require_clean_work_tree
  cd_to_toplevel || die "Can't find top level for the git repo"
  set_reflog_action my-special-script                          # this
will be broken by the patch series

I was under the impression that this is how it should be done when one
needs to write some custom git scripts.

The reason why output from "git log --stat -- git-sh-setup.sh" does
not have that much removal is exactly this.  These are part of our
published API.  It is very much appreciated that you raised this
point.

Thanks.
