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.

Michael
