Asking Eric to comment when he has time to do so.
I find these pattern matches that are not anchored on either side
somewhat disturbing (e.g. --ignore-refs=master would ignore master2)
but ignore-paths codepath seems to follow the same pattern, so perhaps it
is in line with what git-svn users want. I dunno.
As stated last year, I remember wanting globs instead of regexps, but
we already made the regexp mistake with ignore-paths, too :(
I don't think it's horrible with regexps, and if git-svn users find it
useful, it's fine by me.

Re-sent by request of Piotr Krukowiecki. This is against v1.7.4.1,
and I've been using it stably for a while.
Michael: can you please rebase against latest and resend? Thanks.
