Although `sort -o` is POSIX, it may not be supported by all platforms
on which Git is built. Moreover, as far as I can tell, `sort -o` is
not used at all in the Git test suite, so we should be wary of using
it here. Therefore, rather than introducing a novel use of this
command, which might possibly break on some platform, instead stick
with what is known to work without problem:
git replace -l --format medium >output &&
sort output >actual &&
