Yes, I didn't explicitly state that the precedence is the order written
and in correctly described the first case. How about?
/**
* Returns in highest to lowest precedence:
* 1 with an empty patterns list
* 0 if refname fnmatch()es any ^ prefaced pattern
* 1 if refname fnmatch()es any other pattern
* 0 otherwise
*/
