Looks fairly competently done. Does this mean you've abandoned the --namespace
series? I don't mind reverting them from 'next'.

In many places (not just refs) we use "If leading path component matches,
or fnmatch() says Ok" (e.g. builtin-for-each-ref.c, builtin_grep.c), and
in some other places we only use fnmatch(). I think it is better to pick
one convention, and adjust the other one to match, and my gut feeling is
that "leading path or fnmatch()", while theologically might be messier,
would be more useful in practice. And that was why I did my "like this"
patch http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/137492 that way.
My longer term desire is to consolidate these fnmatch() users to call a
single helper function, and then perhaps replace fnmatch() in that helper
function with something more powerful. Although I do not personally care
too much, people often wanted to have "path/**/leaf-that-is-deep" matcher.
I don't want you to go there just yet with this series, but at least
following the same style everywhere would pave the way to consolidating
them.

Would the need for this code hopefully disappear if we take the "leading
path or fnmatch()" check? If we still need this, we probably would want
to add a has_glob_special() helper function not as a hardcoded srpbrk(),
but in terms of is_glob_special() in git-compat-util.h.
Thanks.
