Gentlemen please, no flame wars.

@Can, Thomas is correct, a commit can't be undone, even if its revented the message is still in the records.  Better to concentrate on explaining why the regex needs changing.  Everyone makes mistakes.

@Enrico, Nick and Can are right, the regex [abc|def] matches any one of characters 'a', 'b', 'c', '|', 'd', 'e', 'f' not the sequences "abc or "def" that (abc|def) matches.  There is no way of grouping without saving a match unless the regex engine supports the non-capturing (?:  ) operator.

Cheers
