Emacs master commit 2020-10-23T19:07:26Z!stefan@marxist.se
(72c9d4bee112a7e44316b04f361cc4ad3b16cf76) introduced a file with this name:
test/lisp/minibuffer-resources/data/minibuffer-test-cttq$tion
Unfortunately that '$' causes trouble when I run shell commands like this:
$ git log test/lisp/minibuffer-resources/data/minibuffer-test-cttq$tion
fatal: ambiguous argument
'test/lisp/minibuffer-resources/data/minibuffer-test-cttq': unknown
revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
plus, I had problems when I ran shell scripts etc. to update copyright
dates for 2021 and to merge emacs-27 into master.
I suggest renaming the file in the Emacs source tree. If the '$' is
needed for a filename test, the test can create a file with that name;
that should be less of a problem than having a '$' file in the repository.
- Suggest renaming Emacs source file with '$' in name,
