It has taken me a while to get back to this; the following series rebase
and rework my proposed "!<pattern>" feature. The first patch extracts
match_pattern() from builtin/tag.c and updates this to replace similar
functions in builtin/{branch,for-each-ref,ls-remote}.c
The second patch uses the OPT_CALLBACK wrapper on the recently added
"--points-at" option of git-tag. I should have implemented it this way
to begin with but I missed Jeff King's suggestion within that thread.
The remaining patches add "--exclude <pattern>" options (vs.
"!<pattern>") to: git-tag, git-branch, and git-for-each-ref.
For example,
$ git tag -l --exclude "*-rc?" "v1.7.8*"
$ git branch -r --exclude \*HEAD
$ git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" --exclude "*HEAD"
refs/remotes/origin
Instead of,
$ git tag -l "!*-rc?" "v1.7.8*"
$ git branch -r "!*HEAD"
$ git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" "!*HEAD" refs/remotes/origin
Note that I haven't yet added an "--exclude" feature to git-ls-remote
because I think that I should first update its option parsing.
Thanks,
