Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] scripts/tags.sh: use `find` for $ALLSOURCE_ARCHS generation

Hi.


The commit log is wrong.

This statement is wrong.

The cause of the problem is not using whatever command you use,
but missing quoting.
The following would work even  if $tree contains spaces:

    for arch in `ls "${tree}arch"`; do


BTW, what was your motivation of this patch?

Does ${tree} contain spaces?


If the file path contains spaces, the top Makefile terminates it earlier.

Makefile:128: *** main directory cannot contain spaces nor colons.  Stop.

This patch no longer uses `cd`
