+<div class="paragraph"><p>A &lt;refspec&gt; may contain a <code>*</code> in its &lt;src&gt; to indicate a simple pattern

+match. Such a refspec functions like a glob that matches any ref with the

+same prefix. A pattern &lt;refspec&gt; must have a <code>*</code> in both the &lt;src&gt; and

+&lt;dst&gt;. It will map refs to the destination by replacing the <code>*</code> with the

+contents matched from the source.</p></div>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>If a refspec is prefixed by <code>^</code>, it will be interpreted as a negative

+refspec. Rather than specifying which refs to fetch or which local refs to

+update, such a refspec will instead specify refs to exclude. A ref will be

+considered to match if it matches at least one positive refspec, and does

+not match any negative refspec. Negative refspecs can be useful to restrict

+the scope of a pattern refspec so that it will not include specific refs.

+Negative refspecs can themselves be pattern refspecs. However, they may only

+contain a &lt;src&gt; and do not specify a &lt;dst&gt;. Fully spelled out hex object

+names are also not supported.</p></div>
