Sounds fine as a mechanical change, but I wonder, should calling init_rc
be explicit? There are not so many places that source common/rc:
$ git grep 'common/rc'
check:362:if ! . ./common/rc; then
check:836: . common/rc
common/preamble:52: . ./common/rc
soak:7:. ./common/rc
tests/generic/749:18:. ./common/rc
(I filtered out the non-executable matches)
I think the call in generic/749 is unnecessary and I don't know what
soak does. But that means that one could insert an explicit call to
init_rc at line 366 and 837 in check and at line 53 in common/preamble,
and we can clean up one more of those places where sourcing a common/
file actually /does/ something quietly under the covers.
(Unless the maintainer is ok with the status quo...?)
