Much better; thanks.
Please note that this choice of semantics limits its power. For
example, if the rule were instead (like with gitattributes(5)) "if more
than one pattern matches a refname, a later pattern overrides an earlier
pattern", then one could do things like
refs/remotes/*/* !refs/remotes/gitster/* refs/remotes/gitster/master
to include specific references within a hierarchy that is otherwise
excluded.
However, since rev-list apparently uses a rule more like the one that
you are proposing, it might be better to be consistent than to choose a
different convention.
