"git push $there tag v1.2.3" used to allow replacing a tag v1.2.3
that already exists in the repository $there, if the rewritten tag
you are pushing points at a commit that is a decendant of a commit
that the old tag v1.2.3 points at. This was found to be error prone
and starting with this release, any attempt to update an existing
ref under refs/tags/ hierarchy will fail, without "--force".

in this release, except for "git for-each-ref" where you can now
say "refs/**/master" and match with both refs/heads/master and
refs/remotes/origin/master. We plan to use this new implementation
in wider places (e.g. "git ls-files '**/Makefile' may find Makefile
at the top-level, and "git log '**/t*.sh'" may find commits that
touch a shell script whose name begins with "t" at any level) in
future versions of Git, but we are not there yet. By building with
USE_WILDMATCH, using the resulting Git daily and reporting when you
find breakages, you can help us get closer to that goal.
