Good catch for the test, but I think we can make the sed regexp simpler, as we
can leave out the second "[0-9a-f]"? (git reflog |sed
"s/^[0-9a-f]*/OBJID/" works here)

This mimics the existing tests around there for consistency.
Simplifying or cleaning of this test script as a whole is outside
the scope.
