EXAMPLES

45       $ git sed ´my_function´ ´do_stuff´
46       # ... only does the changes, without committing
47       $ git commit -m"use proper function name"
48       $ git sed -c ´do_stuff´ ´stuff´
49       # .. does the changes and a commit
50       $ git sed -f g do_stuff stuff
51       # .. g is actually pretty important, otherwise you will miss some
52       # stuff!
53       $ git sed ´my_method´ ´do_stuff´ -- lake/
54       # ... only replace ´my_method´ occurs under lake/.
