When git commands are placed in the upstream of a pipe, their return codes are lost. In this particular case, it is especially bad since we are testing the intricacies of `git log --graph` behavior and if we hit an unexpected failure or segfault, we want to know this. Redirect the output of git commands upstream of pipe into a file and have sed read from that file so that git failures are detected.

I recently learned that some poeple write their names in ALL CAPS as a convention.) A little late to the party but since this cleanup hasn't been done yet, let's do it now.
