revision: introduce --exclude=<glob> to tame wildcards
People often find "git log --branches" etc. that includes _all_ branches is cumbersome to use when they want to grab most but except some. The same applies to --tags, --all and --glob. Teach the revision machinery to remember patterns, and then upon the next such a globbing option, exclude those that match the pattern. With this, I can view only my integration branches (e.g. maint, master, etc.) without topic branches, which are named after two letters from primary authors' names, slash and topic name. git rev-list --no-walk --exclude=??/* --branches | git name-rev --refs refs/heads/* --stdin This one shows things reachable from local and remote branches that have not been merged to the integration branches. git log --remotes --branches --not --exclude=??/* --branches It may be a bit rough around the edges, in that the pattern to give the exclude option depends on what globbing option follows. In these examples, the pattern "??/*" is used, not "refs/heads/??/*", because the globbing option that follows the -"-exclude=<pattern>" is "--branches". As each use of globbing option resets previously set "--exclude", this may not be such a bad thing, though. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
