perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8.1 from 5.8.0

2023-11-16T22:26:32Z

The following commit will make use of a Getopt::Long feature which is only present in Perl >= 5.8.1. Document that as the minimum version we support. Many of our Perl scripts will continue to run with 5.8.0 but this change allows us to adjust them as needed without breaking any promises to our users. The Perl requirement was last changed in d48b284183 (perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21], 2010-09-24). At that time, 5.8.0 was 8 years old. It is now over 21 years old.

perl: call timegm and timelocal with 4-digit year

2018-02-23T22:47:06Z

Amazingly, timegm(gmtime(0)) is only 0 before 2020 because perl's timegm deviates from GNU timegm(3) in how it handles years. man Time::Local says Whenever possible, use an absolute four digit year instead. with a detailed explanation about ambiguity of 2-digit years above that. Even though this ambiguity is error-prone with >50% of users getting it wrong, it has been like this for 20+ years, so we just use 4-digit years everywhere to be on the safe side. We add some extra logic to cvsimport because it allows 2-digit year input and interpreting an 18 as 1918 can be avoided easily and safely. Signed-off-by: Bernhard M.

cvsimport: apply shell-quoting regex globally

2017-12-08T17:02:54Z

Commit 5b4efea666 (cvsimport: shell-quote variable used in backticks, 2017-09-11) tried to shell-quote a variable, but forgot to use the "/g" modifier to apply the quoting to the whole variable. This means we'd miss any embedded single-quotes after the first one. Reported-by: Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cvsimport: shell-quote variable used in backticks

2017-09-12T02:10:22Z

We run `git rev-parse` though the shell, and quote its argument only with single-quotes. This prevents most metacharacters from being a problem, but misses the obvious case when $name itself has single-quotes in it. We can fix this by applying the usual shell-quoting formula.
