 * Git can now be built with PCRE v2 instead of v1 of the PCRE
    library. Replace `USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease` with `USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease`
    in existing build scripts to build against the new version.  As the
    upstream PCRE maintainer has abandoned v1 maintenance for all but
    the most critical bug fixes, use of v2 is recommended.
