There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.

I guess, if you ignore the comma...

Rereading it, I now understand what you meant. I interpreted the "like regex" as an example of advanced git knowledge. I'm not sure the comma helps make it unambiguous though.
