Using square brackets in tr ranges is risky.
>From the documentation of GNU tr:
Ranges
The notation `M-N' expands to all of the characters from M through
N, in ascending order. M should collate before N; if it doesn't,
an error results. As an example, `0-9' is the same as
`0123456789'.
GNU `tr' does not support the System V syntax that uses square
brackets to enclose ranges. Translations specified in that format
sometimes work as expected, since the brackets are often
transliterated to themselves. However, they should be avoided
because they sometimes behave unexpectedly. For example, `tr -d
'[0-9]'' deletes brackets as well as digits.
However, if the use of [] is deliberate, because git still
cares about portability to ancient SYSV versions of tr that
require that notation, then let me know and I'll undo that part
of the change and add a comment to that effect.

Subject: [PATCH] pre-commit.sample: don't use [...] around a tr range
Using square brackets around a tr range is especially risky when using
tr's -d (delete) option. In this case, the brackets happen to be harmless,
since the two bracket bytes happen to be included in the desired range.
Correct spelling and grammar.
