From 6383a3bbe16d3615791568c030fed5bfe86a4381 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 10:51:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] init.sh: ensure that IFS is defined, just in case... * tests/init.sh (setup_): Ensure that IFS is defined, so that saving and restoring it works as expected.
