git-branch, git-tag and git-for-each-ref are in the same family. I
think it's good to that all three commands share things, like this
pattern matching.

About the '!' for exclusion, maybe it's better to move from fnmatch()
as matching machinery to pathspec. Then when git learns negative
pathspec [1], we have this feature for free.
