finding_local_version_file is extremely slow, when working directory is under the UNC path.
Because //host/.rbenv-version and //.rbenv-version do not exist, but testing them is so slow.
It's the reason to make a serious delay of the response, when the Ruby runs with a current working directory under the UNC path under Cygwin environment.

Closes #524

It seems that "comm" header can't be relied on cross-platform, but that
"ucomm" is more portable. I have no idea whether it's the right value to
use here, but it seems to be doing the job.

Also strip trailing whitespace because OpenBSD 5.4 `ps` output is padded
with spaces for some reason.

Fixes #489

The non-extended regex pattern didn't work on OpenBSD so this switches
grep to extended pattern mode that seems to work consistenty on all
systems.

On other systems, we expected to find system Ruby in `/usr/bin`, but in
OpenBSD 5.4 it will be found in `/usr/local/bin`.

This replaces the limited USRBIN_ALT hack with a more generic
`path_without` function that will ensure that the given executable is
not present in the resulting PATH even if it's found in multiple
system paths.

The error was "bash: no such file or directory" and it was due to bash
being located in `/usr/local/bin` on OpenBSD 5.4 instead of `/bin` like
on other systems.

Fixed by keeping `/usr/local/bin` in PATH during the test run.

Fix rbenv on OpenBSD

Fixes #519

In Travis CI environment, Bats thinks it's outputting to an interactive
terminal, so it switches to "pretty" format and ANSI escape codes which
don't look well in the final output.

Some tests assumed that the `ruby` executable will be found in system PATH.

Fixes #512, closes #514

ignore cache directory used by ruby-build

Remove Neckbeard reference in favor of Advanced

Fish user config file `~/.config/fish/config.fish` loads for every
instance of fish shell, not just interactive ones. Since it's
unnecessary and dangerous to eval `rbenv init -` output in
non-interactive shells, wrap the invocation in a conditional that checks
if the current shell is interactive.

Fixes #501

It was supposed to fix shelling out to Ruby but it in fact broke another
kind of shelling out to Ruby: invoking the `ruby` binary directly with
the `-S` flag.

Fixes #480

This reverts commit db143bb654.

It doesn't exist as a builtin, and it doesn't seem there is a way to
detect support for a shell builtin that is portable. So, just detect
fish and don't the rehash command at all.

Fixes #478

Change `exec` semantics to allow using rbenv from a ruby process

Process substitution seems to be causing problems with some versions of
bash on specific systems.

Fixes #401

Avoids the case where shell detection would result in
`basename "-bash"` invocation, triggering the error:

    basename: illegal option -- b

fixes #462

`$SHELL` variable is a terrible way of detecting the current shell
because it's not even supposed to reflect the current shell; it's meant
for keeping the value of the default shell for programs to start.

If an explicit `<shell>` argument wasn't passed to `rbenv init`, it
tries to detect the shell by getting the name of its parent process. If
this fails, it falls back on the value of `$SHELL` as before.

Furthermore, `rbenv init` will set the RBENV_SHELL variable in the
current shell to the value of the detected shell so that `sh-shell` and
`sh-rehash` commands don't have to repeat the detection.

Have `rbenv prefix` handle the case where system Ruby is not installed,
i.e. `rbenv which ruby` doesn't find ruby in PATH.

Fixes #362

Provide an `rbenv install` example and explanation lower down, so that
both folk that are following git install and Homebrew install will
finish at the same section and learn how to use ruby-build.

Also remove step 6 of manual install process: `rbenv rehash`. It's
unnecessary at that point, even if they already did `rbenv install`
(which rehashes automatically).

Fixes #455, closes #456

It can be confusing if people mistake the example as instructions to
install ruby-build with.

Don't suggest that they add to their `.profile` anymore because:

1. They would have to restart the desktop session for their change to be
   reflected, or source the file manually;
2. An error in `.profile` may prevent logging in;
3. The `rbenv()` shell function and shell completions won't be available
   in Terminal since it doesn't start bash in login mode by default.

Therefore, suggest that they use `.bashrc` instead. This will be
immediately reflected in a new Terminal tab. If bash is started in login
mode somehow, the default `.profile` is set up to source `.bashrc` anyway.

Also, don't suggest restarting the shell environment with
`exec $SHELL -l`, since we don't know what was the original mode that
their shell was started in. (OS X Terminal.app will be login mode,
Ubuntu Terminal has non-login mode by default.) Mode can be checked with:

* bash: `shopt -q login_shell`
* zsh: `[[ $options[login] = "on" ]]`

But since this is gnarly, let's just avoid it altogether and go the
easy route.

Closes #305, fixes #373, reverts #286

If `rbenv init -` outputs `.` in place of `source` and that gets eval'd
by the desktop manager via `~/.profile`, it chokes and prevents the user
from logging in.

Fixes #457

ksh syntax becomes:

    function rbenv {
      typeset command

`typeset` only declares a local variable if there's an explicit
`function` declaration; otherwise the variable leaks.

Other shells use this syntax:

    rbenv() {
      local command

This is for dash compatibility, which supports neither `function` nor
`typeset`.

references #205, fixes #408

Use process subtitution syntax:

    . (rbenv init -|psub)

instead of:

    eval (rbenv init -)

because the latter doesn't work well with newlines.

fixes #450

fixes #444

Closes #432 [ci skip]

Homebrew homepage moved to a new location

Enables shelling out from a ruby process started with rbenv to a ruby
process with a different RBENV_VERSION. Fixes #121

This removes the workaround created for #15 and solves `ruby -S` support
by setting RUBYPATH. PATH is never changed.

To illustrate how RUBYPATH changes in various configurations:

    PATH=~/bin:~/.rbenv/shims:/usr/bin:/bin
    RBENV_VERSION=1.8 ruby -S rake
    #=> executes ~/.rbenv/versions/1.8/bin/rake
    #=> RUBYPATH=~/bin:~/.rbenv/versions/1.8/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

    RBENV_VERSION=2.0 ruby -S rake
    #=> executes ~/.rbenv/versions/2.0/bin/rake
    #=> RUBYPATH=~/bin:~/.rbenv/versions/2.0/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

    RBENV_VERSION=system ruby -S rake
    #=> executes /usr/bin/rake
    #=> RUBYPATH=~/bin:/rbenv_shims_were_here:/usr/bin:/bin

    RBENV_VERSION=1.8 ruby -S rake
    #=> executes ~/.rbenv/versions/1.8/bin/rake
    #=> RUBYPATH=~/bin:~/.rbenv/versions/1.8/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

readlink comes from GNU coreutils.  On systems without it, rbenv used to
spin out of control when it didn't have readlink or greadlink available
because it would re-exec the frontend script over and over instead of the
worker script in libexec.
