This doesn't work, unfortunately. When $(pathsep) is ';', we get an
incomplete sed expression because ';' is also a command separator in the sed language.

Funny, I tried this also with ';' as pathsep, and it worked in the Git for
Windows SDK...

My ancient sed vs. your modern sed, perhaps? I can check this on Monday.

If you wouldn't mind, that would be much appreciated. Did you actually observe
this issue, or is it just coming up in review?

I am not a `sed` wizard, but perhaps the tool is ignoring the semicolon because
it's in the middle of the "s" expression? The shell may similarly be ignoring it
because it's nested in between single-quotes?
