The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
    substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

    The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
    substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
    simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
    command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
    careful escaping with the backslash character.

    The patch was generated by:

        for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
        do
           shellcheck -i SC2006 -f diff ${_f} | ifne git apply -p2
        done

    and then carefully proof-read.

This message has some strange left-padding. Could you reduce that
whitespace for the majority of your message?

Having some left-padding makes sense for this example.

Also, thanks for sharing this automation!

These changes make sense. Thanks!
