Junio,

That was my initial intention, because I would like to be able to pass
parameters like to git log or git blame correctly without the explicit
use of $1. Could you please advise about how to make it work with the
!sh -c ?

Because the same exact (sed 's/@\\S*//') syntax didn't work with "sh -c".

Thanks,
Eugene
