John Cai 4fe42f326e pack-refs: teach pack-refs --include option ...

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.
