[Monotone-devel] Portable case syntax

[Julio M. Merino Vidal]

Hello,

[ Let me CC this to the list so that others are also aware of the  
problem and we can all prevent it from popping up again in the future. ]

Revisions 1220eee and 113b593f added some shell case statements that  
are unportable to some interpreters, thus breaking the configuration;  
an example is NetBSD 3.0.  These constructions looked like:

case $foo in
        (bar) do_something ;;
        (baz) do_other ;;
esac

The problem is that the opening parenthesis is not correct.  The  
correct syntax for the above is:

case $foo in
        bar) do_something ;;
        baz) do_other ;;
esac

The fixes for the above went in in 80e9c375 and 31db4530 respectively.

Thanks,
