[PATCH 1/1] Fix perl error "unescaped left brace in regex" for paranoid update hook

From
DGDominic Winkler via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<2743caa22e60c5ddc04d388f21a04500d7bcac1f.1568097573.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.335.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Dominic Winkler <d.winkler@flexarts.at>

A literal "{" should now be escaped in a pattern starting from perl versions >= v5.26. In perl v5.22, using a literal { in a regular expression was deprecated, and will emit a warning if it isn't escaped: \{. In v5.26, this won't just warn, it'll cause a syntax error.

(see https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.22.0/pod/perldelta.pod)
