I've created an "early semantic conflict resolution" topic branch that is
a cross between this series and js/remote-improvements, like so:

    $ git checkout -b xx/db-refspec-vs-js-remote db/refspec-wildcard-in-the-middle
    $ git merge js/remote-improvements
    $ git apply evil-fixup.diff
    $ git commit --amend -a -m "Evil merge."

with the following "fixup-as-an-evil-merge patch", which I'd appreciate if
you two can sanity check.

The result will be queued at the tip of 'pu', and hopefully I can merge it
to 'next' when this series goes to 'next'.  Similarly, whichever one goes
first to 'master' can be merged straight, but the merge of the other one
needs to merge this branch as well.
