name-rev: allow to specify a subpath for --refs option
When an user wants to filter specific ref using the --refs option, the pattern needs to match the full ref, e.g. --refs=refs/tags/v1.*. It'd be convenient to specify a subpath of ref pattern. For example, --refs=origin/* can find refs/remotes/origin/master by searching the pattern against its substrings in turn: refs/remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/master origin/master If it finds a match in a subpath, unambigous part of the ref path will be removed in the output.
