git-am: use printf instead of echo on user-supplied strings
Under some implementations of echo (such as that provided by
dash), backslash escapes are recognized without any other
options. This means that echo-ing user-supplied strings may
cause any backslash sequences in them to be converted. Using
printf resolves the ambiguity.
This bug can be seen when using git-am to apply a patch
whose subject contains the character sequence "\n"; the
characters are converted to a literal newline. Noticed by
Szekeres Istvan.
