[PATCH 4/4] contrib/subtree: Replace invisible carriage return with a visible \r

From: Matt Hoffman <matt.hoffman@quantumretail.com>

The ctrl-M (^M) character used for the carriage return (CR) is not visible in all (most) text editors and is often silently converted to a new line (NL) or CR/NL combo.

'say' is a wrapper for echo with accepts the option -e to interperet escaped characters. \r becomes a CR, yet is not munged by text editors.
