Thank you for this very useful patch!  I really like it a lot sofar.

One question, the manual suggests that backreferences are supported,
however, when I use them, I always get the entire input pattern, not
just what's between the parenthesis.

An example of what I would like to be able to do:

  [bla-list-commits] r12345 - some/path/and/file

turn into

  12345: some/path/file

I tried:

  subjectrx "^\\[bla-list-commits\\] r([0-9]+) - " "%1: %R"

I get:

  [bla-list-commits] r12345 - : some/path/and/file

Am I doing something wrong?
