Out of curiosity: what's the result of the original command on Solaris?

	git log -n 1 --date=short --pretty=format:%ci | sed "s/^.*\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\)-\([0-9][0-9]\)-\([0-9][0-9]\).*$/\1\2\3/"

is ugly, but it *should* work.

Apart from this, a much simpler version (using cut, inspired by
your diff, but also tr) may be:

	git log -n 1 --date=short --pretty=format:%ci | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | tr -d -

Does this work on Solaris?

Ciao,
