It should not be too surprising, since we discussed it a few months ago:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192218
Thomas provided a gross but workable solution here:
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192237

and we also talked about eventually having a shell-quoting mechanism for pretty placeholders. Then the discussion rambled into "this sed is horribly broken, and the user should get a better sed" territory. Maybe we need to revisit that decision, since this is now two bug reports.
