An invocation of sed, cat, etc. (POSIX/MSYS tools) is cheaper by a factor
of 2 than a git invocation for a reason that I do not understand. (Perhaps
it has to do with the number of DLLs that are linked; git has 9 static
dependencies, MSYS tools only 3.)
eval_gettext involves 2 git invocation (git-sh-i18n--envsubst counts as
much as git) and 1 subshell in practice (some subshells are optimized away).

Look at the timings: In my book, eval_gettext counts like about 8 sed
substitutions.
