I'm having trouble understanding. Are you asking that this be
presented as a series of patches which first revert 527ec39, then do
the whitespace cleanup, and then augment the script for the extended
functionality? If so, it's a bit problematic because the original
script still expects the 'common' tag to be present, but that tag was
removed by the subsequent patch 2f5b495 (command-list.txt: drop the
"common" tag, 2015-05-21). So, reverting 527ec39 would also require
reverting 2f5b495.

In addition to the literal newline and the temporary file, other
options I considered included assigning the newline to a variable and
then interpolating that variable (${var:+$LF}), or expanding the list
of patterns into a set of '-e' arguments for grep. But, I think I'll
just go with the temporary file.
