From: Jacob Keller <jacob.kel...@gmail.com>
Teach git describe and git name-rev the ability to match multiple
patterns inclusively. Additionally, teach these commands to also accept
negative patterns to exclude any refs which match.
The pattern lists for positive and negative patterns are inclusive. This
means that for the positive patterns, a reference will be considered as
long as it matches at least one of the match patterns. It need not match
all given patterns. Additionally for negative patterns, we will not
consider any ref which matches any negative pattern, even if it matches
one of the positive patterns.
Together this allows the ability to express far more sets of tags than a
single match pattern alone. It does not provide quite the same depth as
would teaching full regexp but it is simpler and easy enough to
understand.

* use --exclude instead of --discard
* use modern style in tests
I chose *not* to implement the suggestion of ordered values for exclude
and match, since this is not how the current implementation of
git-describe worked, and it didn't really make sense to me what was
being requested. I looked at the interface for git-log, and it appears
that the command accepts multiple invocations of --branches, --remotes,
and similar. I do not believe these need to be identical interfaces. I
welcome feedback on this decision, but I am not convinced yet that the
ordered arguments are worth the trouble.
