From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx>
This series adds support for extending describe and name-rev pattern
matching to allow (a) taking multiple patterns and (b) negative patterns
which discard instead of keep. These changes increase the flexibility of
the describe mechanism so that searching for specific tag formats can be
done more easily.
Changes since v1
* add new patches for negative pattern matching
* tweak the documentation slightly
