 This seems to work most of the time.
 This
    git log --pretty=format:%ad:%<TAB>
 becomes
    git log --pretty=format:%ad:%ad:% 
 which is wrong.
 But in quotes
    git log --pretty=format:"%ad:%<TAB>
 works.
 I'm not sure why.
 
 Also git log --pretty=%<TAB> doesn't work. I'm not sure how to support
 that without encountering the same breakage as above.
