I'm not sure about sed, but I agree it is suspect. And note that printf
with hex codes is not portable, either You have to use octal:
printf '\357\273\277ignored\n' >.gitignore
Also, as a nit, I'd much rather see this in its own test rather than
crammed into another test_expect_success. It's much easier to diagnose
failures if the test description mentions the goal, and it is not tied
up with testing other parts that might fail.
