It should not be too surprising, since we discussed it a few months ago:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192218

Thomas provided a gross but workable solution here:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192237

and we also talked about eventually having a shell-quoting mechanism for
pretty placeholders.  Then the discussion rambled into "this sed is
horribly broken, and the user should get a better sed" territory. Maybe
we need to revisit that decision, since this is now two bug reports.
