It is worse than that, isn't it?

If it used $new_line, then it would probably have been a good idea
to somehow make a separate patch related to this one and make a
series about "use $LF from test-lib", but ever since its beginning
at 0f64bfa9 ("ls-files: fix pathspec display on error", 2011-08-01),
$new_line is assigned once but never used in the script.

Somebody may want to go clean-up the use of various $sq and $SQ
locally defined by giving a unified $SQ in test-lib.sh, by the way.

Remove it.
