This sed replacement worries me.  I don't have a time to check myself
today but do we use \(this\|or\|that\) alternates with our sed script
already elsewhere in the codebase (test scripts do not count)?

Otherwise this may suddenly be breaking a platform that has an
implementation of sed that may be substandard but so far has been
sufficient to work with git.

IIRC "|" was not correctly handled by BSD sed (used e.g. in MacOSX).

So maybe it would be best to just look for "commit message"?  I agree with 
Michael that the regex should not be too loose.
