[viewvc-users] ViewVC "Query revision history" does not seem to support glob pattern matching

Hi,

I have tried using the "Query revision history" form of viewvc.cgi and I get the following error when I initiate a search specifying a glob pattern for any of the "File", "Who" and "Comment" fields:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 4452, in main
    request.run_viewvc()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 394, in run_viewvc
    self.view_func(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 4157, in view_query
    db.RunQuery(query)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/viewvc/cvsdb.py", line 463, in RunQuery
    cursor.execute(sql)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 174, in execute
    self.errorhandler(self, exc, value)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in defaulterrorhandler
    raise errorclass, errorvalue
OperationalError: (1139, "Got error 'repetition-operator operand invalid' from regexp")

I have tried using the standard "*" pattern matching specifier and even "%" as per SQL query sytax to no avail, for example, *.java for the "File" field with the "Glob pattern match" radio button selected.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks, Most
