Just a bit of curiosity, but how would this be different from using
__git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/remotes/
i.e. the prefix match, here? Does the wildmatcher clever enough to
optimize "**" away and make it just to iterate over refs/remotes/
hierarchy without filtering anything?
Oh right, I lost track of that bit. When I wrote that, I didn't know
that for-each-ref did prefix matching. Phillip Wood pointed it out:
If there are no glob characters then "git for-each-ref" does a prefix match so strictly speaking you don't need the '**' but I don't think it matters in practice.
But I forgot about it when I sent v3.
Do you want me to change it? Should I send a v4 now, or just make a
fixup commit locally so I don't forget it when I send a v4 in the future?
