This might help you. I don't know. I think the idea is good, but you may
need a negative pattern, or multiple patterns... Just a starting point.

If I git-branch supported pattern matching and negative pattern, then
my "attic/" hidden namespace would be solved. Hmm..

Subject: [PATCH] tag: add core.taglist to let user customize "git tag -l"

Be default "git tag" alone (or "git tag -l") will list all tags.
Let user specify how they want to list in this case via core.taglist
