1.8.3 - gitignore not being parsed correctly on OS X; regex support is broken?

Hi,

Gitignore parsing no longer seems to work properly in git 1.8.3.

One of my repositories has the following gitignore:

/* !/.gitignore !/Library/ !/CONTRIBUTING.md !/README.md !/SUPPORTERS.md !/bin /bin/* !/bin/brew !/share/man/man1/brew.1 .DS_Store /Library/LinkedKegs /Library/PinnedKegs /Library/Taps /Library/Formula/.gitignore

In 1.8.2.3 and earlier, this works as expected. However, in 1.8.3 I'm seeing every file in /bin/ being marked as an untracked file.

I asked about this in #git, and was told that the culprit was the regex support; apparently recompiling without regex support fixes the specific gitignore issue. However, this doesn't seem to have been reported anywhere on the mailing list that I can see. I was also told that the issue is OS X-specific, and doesn't happen on other platforms.

Thanks, Misty De Meo
