Series pack-refs: allow users control over which refs to pack | expand

Allow users to be more selective over which refs to pack by adding an
--include option to git-pack-refs.

The existing options allow some measure of selectivity. By default
git-pack-refs packs all tags. --all can be used to include all refs,
and the previous commit added the ability to exclude certain refs with
--exclude.

While these knobs give the user some selection over which refs to pack,
it could be useful to give more control. For instance, a repository may
have a set of branches that are rarely updated and would benefit from
being packed. --include would allow the user to easily include a set of
branches to be packed while leaving everything else unpacked.

 The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs`

+--include <pattern>::
+
+Pack refs based on a `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
+accumulate inclusion patterns. If a ref is both included in `--include` and
+`--exclude`, `--exclude` takes precedence. Using `--include` will preclude all
+tags from being included by default. Symbolic refs and broken refs will never
+be packed. When used with `--all`, it will be a noop. Use `--no-include` to clear
+and reset the list of patterns.

 When used with `--all`, pack only loose refs which do not match any of
