I don't think there is a way. `--branches` can take a pattern (and there
is always `--glob`), but we do not pass FNM_PATHNAME to fnmatch, so "*"
will match across `/` boundaries.
You are stuck with:
git log --branches=fc --not $(
git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' refs/heads |
grep -v /
)
which is at least robust due to the restrictions on refnames (i.e., no
whitespace).
As an aside, I noticed that:
git log --branches=does-not-exist
will see that we matched no refs and fall back to showing HEAD. That
seems a bit surprising to me.
