No, reporting problems to the list is exactly the right spot. It is nice
to start a new thread, though, if it is an unrelated problem. And
possibly cc folks you think might be responsible. E.g.:

  git shortlog -se origin/master..origin/pu t/t4213-*

points to Thomas. :)

Many versions of sed (e.g., that found on OS X) do not understand
"|"-alternation, even when backslash escaped.  Some versions can turn on
extended regexps with a special option, but of course that option is not
standard, either. Let's just write out our alternates longhand.

On top of the tr/remerge-diff topic.

For curiosity, it is "-E" on OS X and "-r" on GNU sed to turn on
extended regexps. But I hear that Solaris sed also does not handle "\|",
and I would not be surprised to find that it has no extended regexp
support at all. :)
