Actually this is true for the most part. However, it is the 1% of
times when someone uses other weirdness that make it challenging. :-)

I'm not stuck on any particular form, just wanting to get everyone
doing the same thing.

Here's my current regex (its been through several revisions):

([B|b]ug|BZ)?\s?(?<![a-z]|\.)(\d{4})[\s|:|,]

This extracts the following "styles" of bug references from git log,
each of which is unique. I have a feeling that there are some other
styles which I have not yet caught. (I realize that it only catches 4
digit bug numbers, but '+' causes it to pick up on other junk which
I've yet to figure out how to avoid.)

Bug 6905:
Bug 5995
5533:
bug 5780
6278
Bug 5630,
BZ6268
BZ6074:

I'll be posting my tools in a separate repo at git.k-c.org in the next
week or so, so anyone will be welcome to submit patches for
improvement.

Kind Regards,
Chris
