--match <pattern>::
Only consider tags matching the given `glob(7)` pattern,
excluding the "refs/tags/" prefix. This can be used to avoid
leaking private tags from the repository. If given multiple times, a
list of patterns will be accumulated, and tags matching any of the
patterns will be considered. Use `--no-match` to clear and reset the
list of patterns.

considers local branches and remote-tracking references matching the
pattern, excluding respectively "refs/heads/" and "refs/remotes/"
prefix; references of other types are never considered. If given

--exclude <pattern>::
Do not consider tags matching the given `glob(7)` pattern, excluding
the "refs/tags/" prefix. This can be used to narrow the tag space and
find only tags matching some meaningful criteria. If given multiple
times, a list of patterns will be accumulated and tags matching any
of the patterns will be excluded. When combined with --match a tag will
be considered when it matches at least one --match pattern and does not
