Re: Systems with old regex system headers/libraries don't pick up git's compat/regex header file

Richard Lloyd [off-list ref] writes:

git ships with a compat/regex tree containing a recent regex
release, presumably with the intention of allowing systems with
either no regex or an old regex installed to use the newer compat
version.

Quick question.  Does NO_REGEX help?  cf. Makefile

# Define NO_REGEX if your C library lacks regex support with REG_STARTEND
# feature.
