* Balk at incompatible Windows/MSYS git
* Test for chsh presence before trying to use it
* Replace non-portable `[[ ... ]]` and `[ x = *pattern* ]` constructs
Check if Zsh is installed before installing anything else.
New-commers, or people who don't read the disclaimers(ex. me) will go
straight to stack overflow if chsh -s returns an error.
Installation previously assumed the existence of a "chsh" command in the current
${PATH}. Since Cygwin does *NOT* provide this command, installation now tests
for the existence of this command before attempting to run it.
For safety, a umask of 022 prohibiting both group and other writability is now
enforced during OMZ installation. In theory, this should reduce the likelihood
of subsequent compinit() failures due to insecure directory permissions under
all platforms except for default Cygwin installations (in which Windows ACLs
override POSIX umasks).
The intention of the redirection to /dev/null is to hide the output
'hash: no such command: git' since we rely on the exit status.
However, the output goes to stderr, so it's stderr that needs to be
redirected. For completeness, we redirect both stderr and stdout using
'2>&1'.
Example:
[~]$ hash git > /dev/null
[~]$ PATH=''
[~]$ hash git > /dev/null
hash: no such command: git
[~]$ hash git > /dev/null 2>&1
[~]$
Although the zshrc template adds a PATH= string, this is overwritten by the installer script.
This allows it to be placed anywhere in the file instead of having to append at the end.
