Description Elifarley 2016-04-21 17:47:32 UTC

If I run the command below using BusyBox in Alpine Linux 3.3, a '\' followed by the letter 'n' is printed by sed:

sed -i '1 i\execute pathogen#infect()\ncall pathogen#helptags()\n' "$HOME"/.vimrc

When using sed proper, '\n' is printed as a newline character instead.

Fixed in git, thanks.
