So I am not very enthusiastic to see this change myself.

Ok, I understand we do not want to lightly risk false positives. I just noticed that I accidentally forgot to sign off this series, so I'd resend just the first patch with a proper SOB, ok?

Nah, let's do both and how it plays out. My not being very enthusiastic myself does not necessarily mean that it is bad for the project. Maybe most people like it and if I cannot bear with it I can always turn it off myself for my environment.

I just have a strange feeling that we may be seeing some twisted shell script updates and when the author gets asked why it was written in such a strange way, the answer might turn out to be "just to work around the false positive from the test-lint", which I would not want to see.

Me neither. But until then it might well be that the benefit of having this test on by default outweighs this potential problem. It would have surely detected my fingers typing "echo -n" without my brain being alert enough to catch this portability issue ;-)

This is the updated version with proper SOBs and an updated commit message for 2/2 which is trying to sum up the considerations raised in this thread.
