I'll queue the attached.
POSIX makes it an implementation defined behaviour when the first
argument is "-n", or any argument contains a backslas (X/Open System
Interfaces wants to treat "-n" as literal and always interpret the
backslash sequence), so it is definitely safer to avoid running
'echo' on any random string.
Thanks.

die_with_status: use "printf '%s\n'", not "echo"
Some implementations of 'echo' (e.g. dash's built-in) interpret
backslash sequences in their arguments.
This triggered at least one bug: the error message of "rebase -i" was
turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be
others.
Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form
used by the "say" function.
