In a future versions, we may want to have "branch/tag --list" also ask for
FNM_PATHNAME (this *is* a backward incompatible change, so it needs to be
performed across major version boundary, with backward compatibility
configurations, deprecation warnings and whole nine yards). Under the new
match function, today's "branch --list 'maint*'" needs to be spelled as
"branch --list 'maint*/*'" or something.

Or "branch --list 'maint**'

That is one of the things covered by "or something", and I deliberately
left it like so because all the good things that can happen "In future
version" are irrelevant at the present _unless_ the required first step
you omitted from your quote is not done properly, and I didn't want to
invite people to derail the discussion into such a tangent that does not
yet have any value.

Please don't.
