Details:

The command regexpi() will not work with the filter '.*' instead it gets
stuck:

   regexpi('.svn','.*')

will freeze Octave. According to the Matlab standard its meaning is:
   
"    Metacharacter   Meaning
    ---------------  --------------------------------
                .    Any character

    metacharacter or grouped subexpression may be matched:
    
     Metacharacter   Meaning
    ---------------  --------------------------------
               *     Match zero or more occurrences "

Thank you for your time and effort!
