Indeed. The source of the problem is that our "die" shell function
interprets \t (because it uses "echo").

A simple fix would be this:

diff --git a/git-sh-setup.sh b/git-sh-setup.sh
index 7a964ad..97258d5 100644
--- a/git-sh-setup.sh
+++ b/git-sh-setup.sh
@@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ die () {
 die_with_status () {
        status=$1
        shift
-       echo >&2 "$*"
+       printf >&2 "%s\n" "$*"
        exit "$status"
 }
 
It does not sound crazy as the shell function "say" right below uses the
same printf "%s\n" "$*", but I'm wondering whether this could have other
bad implications (e.g. if there are escape sequences in the commit
message, aren't we going to screw up the terminal?).
