git rebase -i error message interprets \t in commit message

Hi,

I just got the following error message:

dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ git rebase -i
Waiting for Emacs...
error: could not apply 16de9d2... Make tempo range \tempo 20~30 be input as \tempo 20-30 instead

When you have resolved this problem, run "git rebase --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git rebase --skip" instead.
To check out the original branch and stop rebasing, run "git rebase --abort".
Could not apply 16de9d2... Make tempo range 	empo 20~30 be input as 	empo 20-30 instead
dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ git --version
git version 1.8.1.2

As you can see, the first message starting with "error: could not apply"
outputs a reasonable rendition of the commit summary line.  However, the
final "Could not apply" message (starting with a capital C) converts
instances of \t to a tab.

This is on Ubuntu 13.04 with
