No.  The rule "indent the subsequent lines at a fixed offset from the
first line" is the one used when `sh-indent-after-continuation` is set
to `always`, which is a different case than the one under discussion.

No.  This indentation is the one you get when we use the *other* rule
which tries to indent depending on the structure of the code on the
line.  E.g. you get that when `sh-indent-after-continuation` is nil.

We're miscommunicating, then.

Those who want that just need

    (setq sh-indent-after-continuation 'always)

AFAIK this thread is about fixing the indentation from

    $(catfood)/foo bar \
              baz

to

    $(catfood)/foo bar \
                   baz


[ and AFAIK it's a plain bug-fix, not a change in style.  ]
