<pattern>...::

Show references matching one or more patterns.
Show references matching one or more patterns. Patterns are matched from
the end of the full name, and only complete parts are matched, e.g.
'master' matches 'refs/heads/master', 'refs/remotes/origin/master',
'refs/tags/jedi/master' but not 'refs/heads/mymaster' nor
'refs/remotes/master/jedi'.
