Re: [PATCH] rebase--interactive: do not use one-or-more (\+) in sed.

Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:

This is a continuation of the other one to avoid one-or-more operator
in sed.  At the same time, it actually tightens error checking,
because the numbers in the squash messages are not padded with
leading zero and cannot begin with 0.

With this, I think we do not have any more use of one-or-more
(\+) in sed scripts.

Just for the record: I believe that \{1,\} might be portable.

As usual, <URL:info:autoconf#Limitations%20of%20Usual%20Tools> (aka as
(info "(autoconf) Limitations of Usual Tools")
) provides a real horror show of sed variants.

Actually, one can get the cursor right on the spot by typing
info autoconf      (or the respective Emacs command C-h i g (autoconf))
i sed RET

There is something to be said for well-indexed documentation...
