git-ls-remote(1) says that ls-remote supports filtering by reference
name:
SYNOPSIS
git-ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack
<exec>]
<repository> <refs>...
[...]
<refs>...
When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
with
--heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
specified,
only references matching the given patterns are
displayed.
[...]
$ git ls-remote --tags public v\*
d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99
f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41 refs/tags/
v0.99.1
c5db5456ae3b0873fc659c19fafdde22313cc441 refs/tags/
v0.99.2
7ceca275d047c90c0c7d5afb13ab97efdf51bd6e refs/tags/
v0.99.3
But when I try to use the <refs> argument on a current build of git
(git version v1.5.3.7-1112-g9758ecd), I just get its usage message,
which doesn't mention that argument:
vredefort:[backup]% git ls-remote origin foob
usage: git-ls-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>]
[<host>:]<directory>
ls-remote was recently made a builtin; was reference filtering
deliberately removed, or was it just lost in translation from the
shell script?
