Thanks for the patch, Michael!

For your commit message, the usual convention is to first specify the
area you're working on followed by a colon and a brief summary.
Typically, the subject starts with a lowercase character and also
doesn't end with any punctuation. See [[describe-changes]] under
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for more details.

For yours, I would reword your commit message to something like

	t8014: avoid git command in upstream pipe
	
	Use an intermediate file between between git blame and sed to avoid
	git blame's exit code being hidden.

In addition, your commit message is missing a sign-off line. You can add
one by passing `-s` to git commit but you should read about what it
means in [[sign-off]] in SubmittingPatches.

We should take advantage of the fact that sed can open its own input
here. So we should drop the `<` and just pass the filename to sed. Same
applies to the below.

Thanks,

Denton

[Michael Platings]

Hi Denton,
Thanks for the review. The patch was supposed to be in response to
https://public-inbox.org/git/20190613151756.GA31952@szeder.dev/ but
apparently I didn't use --in-reply-to correctly. I'll resubmit with
the requested changes.
-Michael

I agree that the main "points" of this patch that should be
highlighted on the title line are that it is about a test, and it is
about not hiding a failure of a Git command by placing it on the
upstream side of a pipe---the above title is very nicely written.

While I do not think it matters too much in this case, I agree it is
a good habit to get into, because it would give the command a chance
to produce a better error diagnosis (i.e. "malformed input on line
X" vs "malformed input on line X in file F"), when it wants to
report an error in input, if we give the name of the file to open to
the command instead of an already-open file descriptor, for one thing.
