Merge branch 'jc/ref-excludes'

People often wished a way to tell "git log --branches" (and "git
log --remotes --not --branches") to exclude some local branches
from the expansion of "--branches" (similarly for "--tags", "--all"
and "--glob=<pattern>").  Now they have one.

* jc/ref-excludes:
  rev-parse: introduce --exclude=<glob> to tame wildcards
  rev-list --exclude: export add/clear-ref-exclusion and ref-excluded API
  rev-list --exclude: tests
  document --exclude option
  revision: introduce --exclude=<glob> to tame wildcards
