Re: [PATCH] pull: replace unnecessary sed invocation

This modification is a bashism. This syntax is not compatible with other
shells.

To me, the above looks like "${parameter#word}", which is a plain vanilla
POSIX shell construct that we adopted to use in our scripts.

There are bash-only constructs we decided never to use in our scripts;
among them are "${parameter/pattern/string}" and "${parameter:offset}",
both are not in POSIX.
