Yup, my eyes have long learned to coast over '\'' as an idiomatic
symbol, but I agree that it is harder to see until you get used to
it (and I do not think it is particularly useful skill to be able to
spot '\'' as a logical unit, either). ${sq} thing may make it easier
to read but I think the one you did in the first quoted part in this
reply is good enough.

Subject: t7406: correct test case for submodule-update initial population
There are three issues with the test:
* The syntax of the here-doc was wrong, such that the entire test was
sucked into the here-doc, which is why the test succeeded successfully.
* The variable $submodulesha1 was not expanded as it was inside a quoted
here text. We do not want to quote EOF marker for this.
* The redirection from the git command to the output file for comparison
was wrong as the -C operator from git doesn't apply to the redirect path.
Also we're interested in stderr of that command.
