I'm not sure exactly what "Git uses the sed found on the PATH in git-am"
means.  This is a general list, not focused specifically on git and/or
sed.

If you mean that git builds and runs differently depending on whether
Apple's (BSD) sed or Fink's (GNU) sed is the first one in the PATH, then
the maintainer (cc'ed) potentially should do something to fix that.

If, on the other hand, you mean that git only _runs_ differently
depending on which sed is the first in the PATH, that's a different
matter.  It may be the case that there's something that needs to be
fixed by our sed maintainer (also cc'ed).

Or there may be nothing for us to do other than put a note in the usage
section of git's package description.  Our sed and the built-in sed
_are_ different, but it's probably excessive to forbid people to install
Fink's sed just because they have git.
