The shell should know, after seeing $FILE_WITH_COMMIT_MESSAGE and
encountering the end of line, that you haven't completed telling
what you started telling it.  Do you need " \" at the end of the
line?

I tried that and got an error: `-p: not found`.

Thanks for trying.  Sorry, but I think I got confused by trying it
with two "echo" (one per line).  The newline still acts as a
inter-command separator.

E.g.,

        vi message.txt
        NEWCOMMIT=$(git comimt-tree $NEWTREE -F message.txt
                    -p $BRANCH1 -p $BRANCH2)

or something like that?

I’ll do that.
