Due to not being able to find a reason to have shebangs on files that
are not executable.

While at it, add a mode hint to emacs, which would be clueless or
plain wrong about these containing shell code.

I will not make any disputes on that! :)

Thanks for the reviews!

vim still doesn't like the change.

Of course, we could also add another line for vim and for every other
editor in use, but actually, I think I'd prefer just dropping this
patch. It even makes each file a few bytes larger instead of saving
something. Shebang lines are a shorter and more portable format
indicator than the alternatives.

So I think in the end we have found a good reason to keep them. :-)

What about .sh suffix? Should be most portable way.

That's the approach I tend to follow for my sh code.  Explicit is
better than implicit if you ask me.

Kevin,

Do you have any strong feelings here?  I'd be fine with either this
or dropping the patch.

Thanks,
- Cleber.

I would certainly agree for new files.

No strong feelings. The result of renaming the files would be a bit
nicer than what we have today, but renaming always comes with a cost
when working with the version history later. Hard to tell if it's a net
gain or loss in the end.

Myself, I would probably pick the lazy way and stick with "if it ain't
broke, don't fix it", but I'm not objecting to a change either.
