Very much. On the pattern side we add */ in front of the given pattern (so, 'master' becomes "*/master", and 'refs/heads/master' becomes '*/refs/heads/master), and run wildmatch() against refs prefixed with '/' (so 'refs/heads/master' becomes '/refs/heads/master' and matches '*/master', and it also matches '*/refs/heads/master'). THanks.
