So if the file is edited, it gets reread in time for the next time the
user wants to enter a log message in the commit window?
Would it be possible for you to add a comment inside the file to the
effect of: "Be careful changing the regexes, if they're invalid the
parsing will silently fail. If you improve them, please tell us about
it on the mailing list!"?

Is there any chance of the timeout being configurable? Personally, I
would be willing to endure a longer wait for the commit window in
exchange for less typing. Or is this a subtle attempt to get people in
general to write small, short classes and improve the world in general?
;-)
As an aside, does anyone happen to know how to get regex to ignore parts
of the file it's parsing? .NET development with VS.NET means, for
WinForms at least, that there's a whole shedload of code that doesn't
contain definitions, inside the region called Designer Generated Code or
some similar name. It would be useful from a time-spent-parsing point
of view, to be able to exclude that region entirely. I don't know regex
well enough to know how to do that, though.
It looks like this in a .cs file:
#region Designer Generated Code
......
#endregion
(and is usually indented by two tabs)
