We do not need GNUism, but many tools that come in /usr/bin have
been found unfit.  I thought that Solaris users were expected to set
SANE_TOOL_PATH to point at /usr/xpg[46]/bin to avoid this problem.

Ah, wait, that particular grep may have GNUism.  If you changed it
to

    egrep "$tree \((refs/heads/master|HEAD)@{[0-9]*}:" out

does it make it pass for you?
