      "${patch.diff}: bad substitution"

          [JENKINS-28984] "patch.diff" is a bad name as env variable due to the dot

          Axel Heider added a comment -

          work-around in a shell script is using: printenv patch.diff. That should solve the practical problem. But the name patch.diff is still not the best choice. I understand that is cannot be dropped for compatibility reasons, but another env var name like "patch_file" could be introduced in addition.
