Jeff KingIt seems that some implementations of tr don't like a replacement string of '-----...'; they try to find the double-dash option "---...".
Instead of this pipeline of tr and sed invocations, just use a single perl invocation.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> --- I didn't see any complaints about increasing the use of perl in earlier patches, so hopefully nobody minds. I think this is more portable, more readable, and probably more efficient.
