I made some minor changes to the test suite to make the tests more portable.  The sed on
Darwin doesn't understand extended regex, cmp won't read from '-', and xargs doesn't have
an '-r' command line flag.

The t3000 test was broken because it wasn't updated when Linus merged Junio's patch to
make git-ls-files show filenames with leading dots.  I fixed that with a trivial
addition. 

Cheers,

Make t0000-basic.sh and t0110-environment-names-old.sh more portable.
Fix t3000-ls-files-others to pick up filenames that start with dots.

Not updating the tests to match code was my fault, not Linus.
Thanks again for the fix.

This is the remainder of testcase fix by Mark Allen to make them
work on his Darwin box.  I was using "xargs -r" (GNU) where it
was not needed, sed -ne '/^\(author\|committer\)/s|>.*|>|p'
where his sed does not know what to do with '\|', and "cmp -
file" to compare standard input with a file, which his cmp does
not support.

Another problem his patch fixed has been merged in the tip of
your git.git already.
