The current code does not do a real glob, this was the reason for me to
think about regex support, I thought it is easy to use sed for this. Now
I know it better.

I want it a bit portable, but sed on other systems (like macos or
solaris) does not support extended REs, and the basic REs do not support
the | operator (but this works on systems with glibc with \|).

Maybe we should support something like this:
Pull: refs/heads/v*:refs/remotes/origin/

I still don't like the * on the destination ref, it looks a bit strange
(like cp Downloads/*.mp3 Music/*).
