> Additionally, there is an extra `bug10178_bug11751-log-to-file-and-
disown` branch based on that last branch (because I'm not sure if
mikeperry would want this patch, but it's what I personally run in my
`start-tor-browser` script). It has [https://github.com/isislovecruft/tor-
browser-bundle/compare/bug10178_bug11751...bug10178_bug11751-log-to-file-
and-disown one more commit] which makes makes Tor Browser log to a file,
and then it `disown`s the Firefox process from the shell and exits the
script. This prevents the output from ending up in unpredictable places
(it often includes full URIs logged from HTTPSEverywhere), and it also
prevents having a shell remain open during the browser session which is
just spewing debugging crap all over the place.
I made sure that start-tor-browser wouldn't spew its stdout or stderr into
random files (unless someone passes the `--debug` option on the command
line). See the first 150 lines.
> Both commits have rather verbose commit messages, explaining the bash
syntax and reasoning behind it.
It's a /bin/sh script, not a bash script. Don't put bashisms into it.
