The only way to handle that is to use the $balanced_parens test but
it wouldn't work on Andrew's perl version 5.8

Andrew?  Do you still use perl 5.8?  It's almost 20 years old now.
Does anyone still use perl versions 5.8 or lower?

From checkpatch:

# Using $balanced_parens, $LvalOrFunc, or $FuncArg
# requires at least perl version v5.10.0
# Any use must be runtime checked with $^V

our $balanced_parens = qr/(\((?:[^\(\)]++|(?-1))*\))/;
our $LvalOrFunc	= qr{((?:[\&\*]\s*)?$Lval)\s*($balanced_parens{0,1})\s*};
our $FuncArg = qr{$Typecast{0,1}($LvalOrFunc|$Constant|$String)};

So maybe:

So that could be:
			if ($line =~ /\bcommit\s+[0-9a-f]{5,}\s+($balanced_parens)/i

and

 ?			} elsif ($line =~ /\bcommit\s+[0-9a-f]{5,}\s*$/i &&
?				 defined $rawlines[$linenr] &&
				"$line $rawlines[$linenr]" =~ /\bcommit\s+[0-9a-f]{5,}\s+($balanced_parens)/i
