Subject: [PATCH] Demonstrate a bug in --word-diff where diff.*.wordregex is "sticky"

From: Johannes Sixt <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 17:39:38 +0100

From: Johannes Sixt <[email-masked]>

The test case applies a custom wordRegex to one file in a diff, and expects
that the default word splitting applies to the second file in the diff.
But the custom wordRegex is also incorrectly used for the second file.
