A colon, followed by a slash, followed by a text, names
a commit whose commit message matches the specified regular expression.
This name returns the youngest matching commit which is
- reachable from any ref. If the commit message starts with a

- followed by something else than <em>!</em>, is reserved for now.

+ literal <em>!</em> character, followed by <em>foo</em>. Any other sequence beginning with
