Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] t2400: Fix test failures when using grep 2.5

From: Jacob Abel <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 04:40:28 +0000

This patchset is in response to build failures on GGG's Cirrus CI 
freebsd_12 build jobs[1] and was prompted by a discussion thread [2].
These failures seem to be caused by the behavior outlined in [3]. 

Note: I jumped the gun on v2 a bit as discussions for v1 were still in
progress so these are all changes suggested off v1.

Changes from v2:
  * Split `--sq` change out into separate patch (from 3/3 to 1/3).
  * Convert tab in advice to space to match coding convention and to
    allow regex to be further simplified [4].
  * Simplified regex [4].
  * Reworded commit message for patch 3/3 to better document reason for
    change [4].

    -    t2400: Fix test failures when using grep 2.5
    +    t2400: rewrite regex to avoid unintentional PCRE
     
    -    Replace all cases of `\s` with `[[:blank:]]` or ` ` as older versions
    -    of GNU grep (and from what it seems most versions of BSD grep) do not
    -    handle `\s`.
    +    Replace all cases of `\s` with ` ` as it is not part of POSIX BRE or ERE
    +    and therefore not all versions of grep handle it without PCRE support.
     
         For the same reason all cases of `\S` are replaced with `[^ ]`. It's not
    -    an exact replacement (as it does not match tabs) but it is close enough
    -    for this use case.
    -
    -    Replacing `\S` also needs to occur as `\S` is technically PCRE and not
    -    part of ERE even though most modern versions of grep accept it as ERE.
    -
    -    This commit also drops `--sq` from a rev-parse call as it appears to be
    -    a no-op.
    +    an exact replacement but it is close enough for this use case.
