Actually:
git grep "echo -n"
make/midi-rules.make: (echo '\header {'; for f in $(HEADER_FIELDS); do echo -n
mf/GNUmakefile: echo -n 'emmentaler-brace' > $@
scripts/build/install-info-html.sh:echo -n "$name: Writing index: $index_file...
smart-autogen.sh:echo -n $AUTOGEN_INPUT_CHECKSUM > $CHECKSUM_FILE
smart-configure.sh:echo -n $CONFIGURE_CHECKSUM > $CONFIGURE_CHECKSUM_FILE
stepmake/bin/stepmakeise.sh: echo -n "Checking version..."
stepmake/bin/stepmakeise.sh: echo -n "Checking latest..."
stepmake/bin/stepmakeise.sh: echo -n "Updating StepMake..."
stepmake/bin/stepmakeise.sh:echo -n "Stepmakeising..."
Wonderful.
