+If a `pattern` is given, only refs matching the given shell glob are
+shown. If the pattern does not contain a globbing character (`?`,
+`\*`, or `[`), it is turned into a prefix match by appending `/\*`.

+--glob=pattern::
+ Show all refs matching the shell glob pattern `pattern`. If
+ the pattern does not start with `refs/`, this is automatically
+ prepended. If the pattern does not contain a globbing

+ match by appending `/\*`.
