It exists in Bash and in *BSD /bin/sh.  It does not exist in Korn shell
(at least, I am failing to find one).  I can just remove 'local' from
the function, since it plays no big role, but generally I don't like to
pollute parent namespace by local variables.  Certainly, if 'local' will
break some known shell -- I'll refrain from using it in this script.

Do you know an example of shell that is used by Git (thus being /bin/sh
in the system) and that lacks 'local' builtin?

Thanks!
