Not working. I get:

*   ok 33: bisection diff --bisect u5 ^U <= 0
sed: -e expression #1, char 64: unterminated `y' command
* FAIL 34: --bisect l5 ^root
        check_output  "git rev-list $_bisect_option l5 ^root"
sed: -e expression #1, char 64: unterminated `y' command
* FAIL 35: --bisect l5 ^root ^c3
        check_output  "git rev-list $_bisect_option l5 ^root ^c3"
sed: -e expression #1, char 64: unterminated `y' command
* FAIL 36: --bisect l5 ^root ^c3 ^b4


But this does:

sed 'yA~`!@#$%^&*()_+={}\[]|\\;:"<>,/? A------------------------------A'

I have to escape open bracket and backslash on my end (linux). :(

Have to leave now, so if that doesn't work for you (which I'm thinking it
won't), I won't be able to test on my end for a while.
