Hi all,

I just got through a rather painful build and install of 1.5.6.1 on AIX
and I was wondering if anyone has any clues on how to get the tests to
run a bit better there.

The first thing I encountered was that because the tests all use
#!/bin/sh the exit code was not what the tests expected.  So I ended up
running 'make SHELL=`which bash` all' directly in the git/t/ directory.
That seemed to shake out and work for most of the tests except for
t/t7502-commit.sh.  Try as I might, I could not get SHELL_PATH set to
anything but /bin/sh except to hard-code the SHELL_PATH in this script.

Am I missing something?  Is there an easier way to get the test suite to
work?  If so, I appreciate any advice.  If not, does anyone have any
ideas on how I might fix this and create a patch for git to submit?  I
don't claim to be a make or bash expert, so go easy on me if I've missed
something obvious ;-)

Any help appreciated!

Cheers,
Craig
