The main issue is that there doesn't seem to be a reliable way of doing so. `uname` is the standard way of doing this, but it is missing on the Windows platform. (Although the lack of `uname` could well imply we're on Windows, LOL.)

The extra `sed` call being "overhead" is not a very useful discussion. Tens of `sed` are done under the cover already with day-to-day use of git-flow. Degraded performance ain't an interesting con-argument, especially not in the context of this discussion.
