Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [TopGit] Portability: Use tr instead of sed for translating spaces to newlines
Message-ID: <1236837389-35687-1-git-send-email-brian.p.campbell@dartmouth.edu>

It is not portable to use \n in the replacement of a sed substitute
command.  On Mac OS X (and presumably FreeBSD, as Mac OS X uses
sed from FreeBSD), \n in the replacement of a substitution gives a
literal "n" instead of a newline.

This patch replaces the sed command with tr, which should be more
portable.
