Fair enough.  I'd still like to put in the bit about

 	my $major_version = $1;
+	die "file name $file is not in the expected format\n"
+	  unless defined $major_version;

because the existing code does not behave nicely at all if you
point it at an incorrect file name.

Hmm, this text has *two* attributions to Peter, and
add_commit_links.pl disagrees with you on where to put the URL.
