The example provided with the update-hook-example does not work on either bash 2.05b.0(1)-release nor 3.1.17(1)-release. The matcher did not match the lines that it advertised to match, such as:

In POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions, the star (*), is not an wildcard meaning "match everything", it matches 0 or more matches of the atom preceding it.
