No, reporting problems to the list is exactly the right spot. It is nice to start a new thread, though, if it is an unrelated problem. And possibly cc folks you think might be responsible. E.g.:

  git shortlog -se origin/master..origin/pu t/t4213-*
points to Thomas. :)

-- >8 -- Many versions of sed (e.g., that found on OS X) do not understand "|"-alternation, even when backslash escaped. Some versions can turn on extended regexps with a special option, but of course that option is not standard, either. Let's just write out our alternates longhand.

On top of the tr/remerge-diff topic.

For curiosity, it is "-E" on OS X and "-r" on GNU sed to turn on extended regexps. But I hear that Solaris sed also does not handle "\|", and I would not be surprised to find that it has no extended regexp support at all. :)
