Nope it would be:
svntest.verify.RegexOutput('regexhere', match_all=False)

Note that you get ONE regex. Unless you pass the match_all=False then
that regex must match every line of output. If you do pass
match_all=False then as soon as it matches any line of the output then
it is considered successful.

I haven't looked at his patch but something that allows you to provide
a list of regex's that matches one regex against each line might be
nice.

I was working on a test just yesterday where I actually verified
output twice because I wanted to check two lines and didn't want to
match exact output.
