"make pot" rightly whines about this:

    git-pull.sh:265: warning: Although being used in a format string
    position, the msgid is not a valid Shell format string. Reason:
    The string refers to a shell variable whose value may be different
    inside shell functions.

Just using "$" instead of "\$" for "$ git ...." works, i.e. eval_gettext "foo $ bar" instead of eval_gettext "foo \$ bar".

Is that portable? Is " $ " always the same as ' $ ' in POSIX shells?
