Hi Greg,
This patch would be needed in 5.10+ branches. Instead of backporting it,
I think is better to pick the "xargs" fix too. So can you please take
the following two commits for 5.10 and 5.15? I've verified they both
apply and work as expected with new PCRE2.
7394d2ebb651 ("scripts/tags.sh: Invoke 'realpath' via 'xargs'")
6ec363fc6142 ("scripts/tags.sh: fix incompatibility with PCRE2")
Thanks,
Carlos Llamas
