Subject: [PATCH] revision traversal: Add --refs=<pattern> option

From: Sergey Vlasov <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 18:09:11 +0300

Add the --refs=<pattern> option, which can be used to select a
subset of refs matching the specified glob pattern.

Signed-off-by: Sergey Vlasov <[email-masked]>

 If --all-branches is too specific for the mentioned use case,
 what about adding a more general glob pattern match?
