[issue951] Valid regular expression breaks .hgignore

[Jiri Skrivanek]

New submission from Jiri Skrivanek <Jiri.Skrivanek at sun.com>:

The pattern below causes that othere patterns in .hgignore are not taken into
account:

^j2ee.kit/test/qa-functional/src/org/netbeans/test/j2ee/multiview/\.Utils\.java\.swp$
^j2ee.kit/test/qa-functional/src/org/netbeans/test/j2ee/persistence/\.PersistenceUnitTest\.java\.swp$

To reproduce:

hg init
touch a
mkdir build
touch a/a.class
cp <attached .hgignore> .hgignore
hg stat
? .hgignore
? a
? build\a.class
Remove or comment two lines above (line 243, 244)
hg stat
? .hgignore
? a

The other strange thing is that if you comment just one line, it also starts to
work.
