In test 'blame --textconv with local changes' of t8006-blame-textconv,
using /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (as set by SANE_TOOL_PATH), an additional
newline was added to the output from the 'helper' script.
This was noted by sed with a message such as:
sed: Missing newline at end of file zero.bin.
Sed then exits with status 2 causing the helper script to also exit
with status 2.
In turn, this was triggering a fatal error from git blame:
fatal: unable to read files to diff
To work around this difference in sed behaviour, use perl -p instead
of sed -e as it exits cleanly and does not insert the additional
newline.
