But is the "no newline" bit indeed intentional? If not, then a simple
echo would be even easier (though with a bit more escaping):

    echo "\"file\101.t\"" | git checkout --pathspec-from-file=- HEAD^1 &&

For portability, that would be

	printf "%s\n" "\"file\101.t\"" | ...

because some implementations of echo interpret escapes by default.
