What about not using command line options? We could go with something like pathspec magic. I think as long as we provide three options: literal, some pattern matching and backquote, then the user has enough flexibility to specify any set of refs. For pattern matching I'd prefer wildmatch. regex can be used via backquote, e.g. `for-each-ref | grep ...` (or teach for-each-ref about regex to avoid grep).
I don't think that would solve my immediate problem, unless git for-each-ref knew how to produce output in the same order that git describe searches. But perhaps I misunderstand what you're suggesting with the backquote/subshell.
