I couldn't find "$" (match last line) in the POSIX man page for sed.
Besides, I think $(git show -s --format=%s HEAD) reads better.
For future reference, and if you haven't already, you may want to
install manpages-posix (or manpages-posix-dev?) and then you can run
e.g. "man 1p sed" to see the POSIX man page for sed.
