Summary

FreeBSD sh(1) doesn't accept -d, so we weren't testing what we
expected there. Let's just use a simple Python script instead.

This confused me for longer than it should. I assume you just mean -c instead of -d.

No, I actually mean -d. We *add* -d $PWD to the invocation of the patch tool internally before invoking it.

Hmm, so we were hoping that whatever sh implementation was used would support a -d option and would not fail when it was given $PWD? That's a really odd assumption, so thanks for cleaning that up. Do other shells (than FreeBSD) support a -d option (bash and dash don't seem to)?

It looks like bash accepts unknown flags if -c is in use, but BSD sh doesn't. Maybe dash works the same way? I'm too lazy to ssh to a Debian machine right now to find out.

Yes, dash accepts them as the arguments passed to the command.

% dash -c 'echo "$@"' -foo -bar -baz
-bar -baz
