The "*" should be reserved for the use as regex operator.

I want to use regular expressions to match remote refs, so I try to
implement this. But the current globfetch syntax needs the '*'.

Maybe it is not to late to change the syntax to this:
Pull: refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/

What do you think?
