This series (except this part) was merged into perf/completion of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux 3 weeks ago,
so I'm not sure what perf/core has to do with it.

To answer your question about prevalent style:

$ git grep "[^ ]()" -- \*.sh

returns many more results than

$ git grep " ()" -- \*.sh

This is different from what you will see in git.git.

Anyway, consistent style is important in shell scripts mainly because
we don't have semantic parsers and have to rely on it being grep'able
to find something. So, yeah: perf/completion is good as it is.

Thanks.
