 - document --exclude option
 - revision: introduce --exclude=<glob> to tame wildcards

 People often wished a way to tell "git log --branches" (and "git
 log --remotes --not --branches") to exclude some local branches
 from the expansion of "--branches" (similarly for "--tags", "--all"
 and "--glob=<pattern>").  Now they have one.

 Will merge to 'next'.

Please don't. This is by far not ready. It needs a different approach to
support --exclude= in rev-parse.

Thanks for a dose of sanity. I didn't look at rev-parse. I vaguely
recall somebody offered follow-ups (was it you?) and at that point
I placed this on the back-burner.
