(20:12:21) ubernostrum: thepointer_: http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/source/browse/trunk/registration/models.py#204 <-- here's a real-world example of a very similar setup. (20:12:21) DjangoBot: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/204

Here's the regex for the ticket: r'(?:^|\s)#(\d+)\b' and for the changesets r'\br(\d+)\b'

Slightly better, but still conservative: r'(?:^|[\s(])#(\d+)\b'

Ah, good catch SmileyChris. I will get this fixed ASAP.

Fixed in r10.
