OK.

Well, let's call it $tag; $message is a bit misleading here.  The saved 
letters can be invested in quotes. ;)

Indeed most sed calls in t/ have no space there (found counter-examples 
only in annotate-tests.sh, t4201-shortlog.sh, t9824-git-p4-git-lfs.sh).

Right.  It's just there to make that intent clear.

Makes sense; the less we assume about the diff to be checked the better.

Thanks a lot!
