Hi,
this patch series replaces all uses of `test <expr> -o/a <expr>` that I
was able to find in our codebase. This is in accordance to our coding
guidelines:
- We do not write our "test" command with "-a" and "-o" and use "&&"
or "||" to concatenate multiple "test" commands instead, because
the use of "-a/-o" is often error-prone. E.g.
test -n "$x" -a "$a" = "$b"
is buggy and breaks when $x is "=", but
test -n "$x" && test "$a" = "$b"
does not have such a problem.
This patch series is a result of the discussion at [1].
