chainlint: match arbitrary here-docs tags rather than hard-coded names chainlint.sed swallows top-level here-docs to avoid being fooled by content which might look like start-of-subshell. It likewise swallows here-docs in subshells to avoid marking content lines as breaking the &&-chain, and to avoid being fooled by content which might look like end-of-subshell, start-of-nested-subshell, or other specially-recognized constructs. At the time of implementation, it was believed that it was not possible to support arbitrary here-doc tag names since 'sed' provides no way to stash the opening tag name in a variable for later comparison against a line signaling end-of-here-doc. Consequently, tag names are hard-coded, with "EOF" being the only tag recognized at the top-level, and only "EOF", "EOT", and "INPUT_END" being recognized within subshells. Also, special care was taken to avoid being confused by here-docs nested within other here-docs. In practice, this limited number of hard-coded tag names has been "good enough" for the 13000+ existing Git test, despite many of those tests using tags other than the recognized ones, since the bodies of those here-docs do not contain content which would fool the linter. Nevertheless, the situation is not ideal since someone writing new tests, and choosing a name not in the "blessed" set could potentially trigger a false-positive. To address this shortcoming, upgrade chainlint.sed to handle arbitrary here-doc tag names, both at the top-level and within subshells.
