I'll take this patch for now, but I've heard a horror story that
some other vintage of sed apparently does not like multiple
commands separated by semicolons at all, and I've been training
myself to do this kind of thing always as multi-line sed script,
like this:

     sed -n '
     /NAME/,/git-'"$cmd"'/H
     ${
            x
            s/.*git-'"$cmd"' - \(.*\)/  {"'"$cmd"'", "\1"},/
	    p
     }' "Documentation/git-$cmd.txt"
