t0000: check whether the shell supports the "local" keyword
Add a test balloon to see if we get complaints from anybody who is using a shell that doesn't support the "local" keyword. If so, this test can be reverted. If not, we might want to consider using "local" in shell code throughout the git code base. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

# Shells that don't support the "local" keyword. "local" is not

# POSIX-standard, but it is very widely supported by POSIX-compliant

# shells, and if it doesn't cause problems for people, we would like

# For now, this is the only test that requires "local". If your shell

# fails this test, you can ignore the failure, but please report the
|

# problem to the Git mailing list <git@vger.kernel.org>, as it might
|

# convince us to continue avoiding the use of "local".
