I was working on another repository meanwhile, but now hit the same
thing again (hardcoded KDE-version for testing purposes):

match /(branches|tags)/KDE/[^/]+/kdesdk/doc/(scripts/)?$
  action recurse
end match

match /branches/KDE/4.2/kdesdk/doc/scripts/man-demangle.1.docbook
    repository ${REPO}
    prefix doc/kmtrace/man-demangle.1.docbook
    branch KDE/4.2
end match

The recurse action works, but in the end the file itself is not
matched and I don't know why. The log looks like this:

rev 906699 /branches/KDE/4.2/kdesdk/doc/ matched rule:
"kde-ruleset/kdesdk/kde-dev-utils-rules:21
/(branches|tags)/KDE/[^/]+/kdesdk/doc/(scripts/)?$"    recursing.
rev 906699 /branches/KDE/4.2/kdesdk/doc/scripts/ matched rule:
"kde-ruleset/kdesdk/kde-dev-utils-rules:21
/(branches|tags)/KDE/[^/]+/kdesdk/doc/(scripts/)?$"    recursing.
rev 906699 /branches/KDE/4.2/kdesdk/kpartloader/ matched rule:
"kde-ruleset/kdesdk/../common-kde-branches-rules-match-files:20
/branches/KDE/(\d+)\.(\d+)/kdesdk/kpartloader/"    exporting.

I know you should have a / at the end of the path, but this is the
only way for files. And it does work for trunk strangely (also seen in
other rule files):

match /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/doc/scripts/(man-demangle.1.docbook)
    repository ${REPO}
    branch master
    prefix doc/kmtrace/\1
    min revision 409203
end match

Maybe I should start debugging the tool...
