From 8a631963a95b0357fdb2a4c61e5df898028c4641 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tuomas Ahola Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 21:48:58 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] lint-gitlink: don't use empty lower bound in .{0,8} The regex quantifier {,n} was added in Perl 5.34.0 as a shorthand for {0,n}. That makes it too new an introduction for Git which targets Perl 5.26.0. Even though Documentation/lint-gitlink.perl is a development helper script, let's stick to the general Perl version requirement for consistency, and use an explicit zero in .{0,8}.
