[augeas-devel] possible shellvars bug?

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hello James,


Thank you for reporting this issue.

I just fixed it in commit
https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/commit/d26208334bf88b881dbd0796a09acb23fce8d302

As a note, backslashes are not required in bash, you can just use newlines
without them (and Augeas 1.0.0 already supports that).
