# Format the output of git-push, git-show-ref and other commands to make a

# without having to worry about future changes of the commit ID and spaces
# of the output.  Single quotes are replaced with double quotes, because
# it is boring to prepare unquoted single quotes in expect text.  We also
# remove some locale error messages, which break test if we turn on
# `GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=true` in order to test unintentional translations
