From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Seems that some of the new console logic causes doprint to possibly get evaluated. When printing a commit message that contains parenthesis, it fails with a shell parsing error. This gets fixed when we add quotes around the $item variable, and prevent it from being evaluated by any shell commands.
