So:

* ignore sha1 because RA doesn't provide it yet
* ignore Text-copy-source-md5... why? for the same reason?
* ignore Prop-delta... why?

(It would be good to have the answer in a comment, I think.)

Couldn't you redefine one of these two functions (matches_except() and
is_equivalent_list()) such that they share more code?

For example:

    def matches_except(self, expected, actual, except_re):
        # TODO: possibly use a slightly different error message
        # if an exception is thrown
        return self.is_equivalent_list(
                      filter(lambda x: not re.match(except_re, x), expected),
                      filter(lambda x: not re.match(except_re, x), actual))

... or add some sort of optional argument to is_equivalent_list(), such
that the functionalities of both functions can be achieved by varying
the value of the optional argument.

In second thought: you could make except_re a lambda expression
(taking a single argument, the line) instead of a regex; i.e.,

    s/foo('Text-sha1:')/foo(lambda line: 'Text-sha1' not in line)/

?
