Way to specify an exclusion refspec?

Hi. The manpage describes how to specify an inclusion refspec, like
for example the default one that gets set for `origin` in
`.git/config`, which tells git to include all (`*`) heads in every
fetch operation:

  +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

But how about specifying an exclusion refspec?  For instance, we want
to fetch all heads (`*`) except `foo`, or all heads beginning in "ba"
(`ba*`) except `bar`.

Thanks, D

This has come up before, it's not currently possible, but I think
there's interest in having it implemented.
