Ahh. So that "echo" should just be replaced with a 'printf "%s\n"'

We have a _lot_ of "echo"s though. I suspect the only ones we'd ever catch

broken.
As Bjorn mentioned, it's POSIX. Junio and I already hunted down quite a
few of these, so I think we are OK in general, and this is just a new
one that got introduced.
