The sed provided by Solaris in /usr/xpg4/bin has a bug whereby an
unanchored regex using * for zero or more repetitions sees two
separate matches fed to the substitution engine in some cases.
This is evidenced by:
$ for sed in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed /usr/bin/sed /opt/csw/gnu/sed; do \
echo 'ab' | $sed -e 's|[a]*|X|g'; \
done
XXbX
XbX
XbX
This bug was triggered during a git submodule clone operation as
exercised in the setup stage of t5526-fetch-submodules when using the
default SANE_TOOL_PATH for Solaris. It led to paths such as
..../.. being used in the submodule .git gitdir reference.
As we do not need to handle fully qualfied paths we can make the regex
match 1 or more instead of 0 or more non-/ characters so use
's|[^/][^/]*|..|g' instead, which is correctly handled by all tested
sed implementations. This expression is semantically different than
the original one. It will not place leading '..' on a fully qualified
path as the original expression did. None of the paths passed to the
regex relied on this behaviour so changing it shouldn't have negative
impact.
