This will not work with multi-line string input, because ^ marks the
very beginning and $ the very end of the string, not the line. But even
if you remove these, you'll only process the replacement of the matched
line, while you actually want to extract something. This should work better:

local extract = string.match(workrev, "mtn: %[merged%] (%x*)")
