7.4 Regular Expression Syntax

Monotone expects user-provided regular expressions in .mtn-ignore files and as the result of the get_encloser_pattern Lua hook (for the diff command). User-written Lua hooks may also use the function regex.search as they see fit. All these regular expressions should be written with the same syntax, which is that expected by the Perl-Compatible Regular Expression library (PCRE).
