help: eliminate duplicate text for revset string patterns There's no reason to duplicate this so many times, and it's likely an instance will be missed if support for a new pattern is added and documented. The stringmatcher is mostly used by revsets, though it is also used for the 'tag' related templates, and namespace filtering in the journal extension. So maybe there's a better place to document it. `hg help patterns` seems inappropriate, because that is all file pattern matching. While here, indicate how to perform case insensitive regex searches.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"

Bugs
