This series only supports the narrowest case of having the * in the middle of a side of a refspec: having it as a full path component on each side. Patches 1-3 centralize all of the parsing and matching rules to a pair of functions; patch 4 makes the stored representation more convenient (and serves as a distinguished bisection outcome for anything I missed that was relying on the contents of struct refspec for patterns); and patch 5 extends the matching implementation and loosens the ref format requirements to allow the * to be in the middle. An easy followup would relax the restrictions further without requiring any particularly tricky further changes.
