I'm not sure it's a good idea to implement this as a button on the
header-line.  Such buttons are for frequent operations, and also have
the disadvantage of being unavailable on TTY frames.  What are the
chances users will need to redefine the register patters frequently
enough to justify the button?  Wouldn't it be much easier to have a
defcustom whose value users could interactively modify as needed?

And please don't use non-ASCII characters in log messages, as these
could cause trouble reading the Git log on less capable terminals.

Please start description of changes with a capitalized word, and end
with a period -- these should be complete English sentences.

Likewise in comments: complete sentences (here and elsewhere in the
patch).

Thanks.
