I don't think just having text filters easily allows something like:

  git show-ref |
    perl -ne 'print if m#tags/v1\.(\d+)# && $1 > 3' |
    git name-rev --refs-from=- $commit

But I don't know how many people will want to do something that complex. I suppose you could mimic it with many --refs, but the syntax gets a bit painful.
