In a 'sed s/regexp/replacement/' command the replacement part has a
few characters with special meaning, and if those characters happen to
appear in the path of the trash directory, then:

  $ ./t5510-fetch.sh --root='/tmp/foo\1/'
  ok 64 - name prune fetch.prune=unset remote.origin.prune=unset fetch.pruneTags=unset remote.origin.pruneTags=unset --no-prune; branch:kept tag:kept
  sed: -e expression #1, char 62: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
  sed: -e expression #1, char 62: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
  ok 65 - link prune fetch.prune=unset remote.origin.prune=unset fetch.pruneTags=unset remote.origin.pruneTags=unset --no-prune; branch:kept tag:kept
  ok 66 - name prune fetch.prune=unset remote.origin.prune=unset fetch.pruneTags=unset remote.origin.pruneTags=unset --prune; branch:pruned tag:kept
  sed: -e expression #1, char 62: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
  sed: -e expression #1, char 62: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
  not ok 67 - link prune fetch.prune=unset remote.origin.prune=unset fetch.pruneTags=unset remote.origin.pruneTags=unset --prune; branch:pruned tag:kept
  [...]

'sed' can run multiple commands at once, e.g. 'sed -e s/// -e s///'.
