If these were part of scripted Porcelain that needs to take any
end-user input, then having '.' that are meant to match only a dot
is a bug, but I personally do not think it is worth the patch noise
to quote them, when we _know_ (after all, we are in control of the
data we use for these tests) there is no other lines that would
match these patterns.
