Hi Junio
Sorry, I'm not understanding the comment, even having re-read the thread.
Philip
I guess you were referring to you more recent reply to Ævar.
However, isn't `-r <pattern>` broken?

fatal: -a and -r options to 'git branch' do not make sense with a branch

$ git branch -r 'junio/*'
fatal: -a and -r options to 'git branch' do not make sense with a branch

phili@Philip-Win10 MINGW64 /c/git-sdk-64/usr/src/git (branch-patterns)
$ git branch -r
dscho-git/add-i-fixes
dscho-git/add-i-in-c-all-except-patch
dscho-git/add-i-in-c-status-and-help
...
The docs for the branch -r and -a option could do with mentioning that
they are meant to accept a pattern, as all the other mentions are hidden
mid paragraph.
I'll prepare a v2 for the docs, but haven't the time at the moment to
investigate the code fail (missing a test?).
Philip
Thanks.
