If this is a shell programming question rather than a subversion
question, then I suggest changing the script to not use an embedded
control-M. Here are two ways of doing that:

        tr -d '\r' <"$infile" >"$outfile"

        control_M="$(printf '\r')"
        sed -e "s/${control_M}//" <"$infile" >"$outfile"
