Juno M4.

The new 'Regular expression to ignore changes in synchronizations' preference is unclear to me. I have no clue what it actually does.

Also, it's not 100% clear what happens if the field is empty: does it fallback to time stamps? Maybe it would be clearer with a radio box, something along these lines:
( ) only use time stamps
( ) compare contents
( ) use diffs filtered by [   ]

I'm planning to polish the doc and the pref page in M7. Let me mark this one as a dupe of bug 364142, and copy your comment there.
