Likewise, when an empty file is expected, use "compare /dev/null out",
not "compare out /dev/null". I.e., specify the expected/desired contents
via the first file name. Prompted by a suggestion from Bruno Haible
in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.grep.bugs/4020/focus=29154
Run these commands:
git grep -l -E 'compare [^ ]+ exp' \
|xargs perl -pi -e 's/\b(compare) (\S+) (exp\S*)/$1 $3 $2/'
git grep -l -E 'compare [^ ]+ /dev/null' \
|xargs perl -pi -e 's,\b(compare) (\S+) (/dev/null),$1 $3 $2,'
But manually convert this one:
-compare out exp-$(echo $opt|tr ' ' _)
+compare exp-$(echo $opt|tr ' ' _) out
and avoid an inappropriate change to cfg.mk.
