Thanks Patrick, I do like to register my interest to work on:
Avoid pipes in git related commands in test scripts, based of,
https://github.com/git/git/commit/c6f44e1da5e88e34
Test script to implement changes  - t6050-replace.sh
Code sample -
`test_expect_success 'replace the author' '
        git cat-file commit $HASH2 | grep "author A U Thor" &&
        R=$(git cat-file commit $HASH2 | sed -e "s/A U/O/" | git
hash-object -t commit --stdin -w) &&
        git cat-file commit $R | grep "author O Thor" &&
        git update-ref refs/replace/$HASH2 $R &&
        git show HEAD~5 | grep "O Thor" &&
        git show $HASH2 | grep "O Thor"
'
`
I do like to hear your thought on this. Thanks again

That looks like a good microproject. Please feel free to ask if you have 
any questions while you're preparing the patch.
