It turns out that git-commit also shares the same problem under dash. -- >8 -- git-commit: use printf "%s\n" instead of echo on user-supplied strings This adds a test to verify the earlier fix to git-am by Jeff King, and fixes the same issue in git-commit that is exposed by the new test while at it. Cleverly enough, this commit's log message is a good test case at the same time.
