Bash (4.0.24) on OpenBSD 4.6 refuses to run this snippet: $ cat gomi.sh #!/bin/sh one="/var/tmp/1 1" rm -f /var/tmp/1 "/var/tmp/1 1" echo hello >$one $ sh gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1* /var/tmp/1 1 $ bash gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1* gomi.sh: line 4: $one: ambiguous redirect ls: /var/tmp/1*: No such file or directory Every competent shell programmer knows that a <$word in redirection is not subject to field splitting (POSIX.1 "2.7 Redirection" explicitly lists the kind of expansion performed: "... the word that follows the redirection operator shall be subjected to ...", and "Field Splitting" is not among them). Some clueless folks apparently decided that users need to be protected in the name of "security", however. Output from "git grep -e '> *\$' -- '*.sh'" indicates that rebase-i suffers from this bogus "safety". Work it around by surrounding the variable reference with a dq pair.
