I made the same mistake -- it's not a regexp, it only looks like one. As a
regexp it would be ".*\.p[0-9].*". Compare with his last sentence "Writing
out the *.p0*, *.p1*, etc. ..."
But this is a deficiency in the documentation -- the exact syntax of
svn:ignore patterns should be defined clearly. Similarly for other places
where wildcards are allowed, e.g., in the auto-properties list. This is
particularly important because various different shells allow various
different wildcard syntaxes. (E.g., is {...,...} supported?)
