+Subject: [PATCH 2/7] m4sh: prefer bash over sh
-Some systems have /bin/sh -> dash and others /bin/sh -> bash. Bash is preferred
-but sometimes we can sometimes end up exporting /bin/sh yet use bashisms.
+_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL looks for a good shell to use, and tries to look for
+'sh' before 'bash'. Whilst for many systems sh is a symlink to bash,
+there are many where sh is a symlink to a more minimal sh implementation.
-This patch puts bash first in the search results which avoids the bash/dash confusion.
+For example, Debian by default has /bin/sh -> /bin/dash: dash is a faster
+shell to start (which makes a notable difference to boot speed) but is not
+as fast as bash at executing long scripts (and configure scripts are not
+known for their conciseness).
-RP 2012/9/23
+Change the search order to bash then sh, so that a known-good shell (bash)
+is used if available over something which is merely POSIX compliant.
