[PATCH 0/2] refs: a couple of --exclude fixes

This short patch series fixes a couple of quirk's with the --exclude feature in for-each-ref (and the corresponding low level bits in the reftable and packed backend).

The issue described and fixed in the second patch was reported by SURA here[1]. While working on that issue, I noticed a separate issue that merited fixing in its own patch, which precedes the fix I intended to write ;-).

Thanks in advance for your review!
