[PATCH v6 01/31] git-remote-mediawiki: Make a regexp clearer

From: Célestin Matte <celestin.matte@ensimag.fr>

Perl's split function takes a regex pattern argument. You can also feed it an expression, which is then compiled into a regex at runtime. It therefore works to pass your pattern via single quotes, but it is much less obvious to a reader that the argument is meant to be a regex, not a static string. Using the traditional slash-delimiters makes this easier to read.
