From: =?UTF-8?q?Ond=C5=99ej=20Poho=C5=99elsk=C3=BD?= <opohorel@redhat.com>

With perl-5.41.4 and newer, git-cvsserver fails to build because of possible precedence problem[0]

Added parentheses avoid this issue.

Full credit for finding the issue and coming up with the fix goes to Jitka Plesnikova (jplesnik@redhat.com)
