Surprising 'git-describe --all --match' behavior.

Hello,

Just playing with it, got some surprises:

$ git --version git version 1.9.3

$ git describe --all heads/v3.5 $ git describe --all --match 'v*' tags/v3.5.6b2-4-gab4bf78 $ git describe --all --match 'heads/v*' fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

... "heads/v3.5" matches neither 'v*' nor 'heads/v*'?

$ git describe --all --match 'v*' tags/v3.5.6b2-4-gab4bf78 $ git describe --all --match 'tags/v*' fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

... git matches short names when outputs full names?

Is it a defect, or what do I miss?
