Is there any reason piping the Fossil export through sed to fix name and
email, then piping the correct result into Git, would not work?  I only
ask because it does not seem to work here.  I used a sed regex that I
have verified works on a string copied from an unmodified Fossil export,
but for some reason does not work when I actually try to use it by
sticking it between the Fossil export command and the Git import
commands, connected together via pipes.
