The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:

for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
   sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f}
done

and then carefully proof-read.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.

Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail.  The examples in this patch do not require that.

Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user
to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the
working directory.  It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows
and LF everywhere else.

Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol.  This means that

[core]
	autocrlf = true

puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf".
