Ouch, I didn't grok the internal '"' properly. With your explanation
above it becomes clearer.

I used the '\"' because it is written like this in the hint text. Of
course this has to be entered non regex escaped.

Can I match a double quote inside a string that contains blanks?!?

Like this: '-"no ""!"" on"' hopefully looks for revisions not containing
'no "!" on'?
Or is this cut off at '"no ""!""' because the fifth '"' is followed by a
blank?
