This also, apparently, doesn't work with dash. On cygwin, which has
bash as /bin/sh, this builds common-cmds.h just fine. On linux, which
has dash as /bin/sh, this fails, leaving a truncated file:

  $ bash generate-cmdlist.sh command-list.txt >zzz
  $ tail -3 zzz
  	{"gitweb", N_("Git web interface (web frontend to Git repositories)"), CAT_ancillaryinterrogators, GROUP_NONE },
  	{"workflows", N_("An overview of recommended workflows with Git"), CAT_guide, GROUP_NONE },
  };

  $ dash generate-cmdlist.sh command-list.txt >zzz
  generate-cmdlist.sh: 73: generate-cmdlist.sh: Bad substitution
  $ tail -3 zzz

  static struct cmdname_help command_list[] = {
  };
  $ 

This leads to a very broken 'git help'.
