Ah, sure enough. I didn't see that feature there, I guess. Am I right that 
it's supposed to have "git ls-remote origin db/*" return refs of the 
form "*/db/*", interpreted as for globs?

Eyvind: can I get a test case? I haven't ever used this feature, and I'm 
not sure I'll implement it correctly.
