Merge branch 'ab/ref-filter-no-contains'
"git tag/branch/for-each-ref" family of commands long allowed to filter the refs by "--contains X" (show only the refs that are descendants of X), "--merged X" (show only the refs that are ancestors of X), "--no-merged X" (show only the refs that are not ancestors of X). One curious omission, "--no-contains X" (show only the refs that are not descendants of X) has been added to them. * ab/ref-filter-no-contains: tag: add tests for --with and --without ref-filter: reflow recently changed branch/tag/for-each-ref docs ref-filter: add --no-contains option to tag/branch/for-each-ref tag: change --point-at to default to HEAD tag: implicitly supply --list given another list-like option tag: change misleading --list <pattern> documentation parse-options: add OPT_NONEG to the "contains" option tag: add more incompatibles mode tests for-each-ref: partly change <object> to <commit> in help tag tests: fix a typo in a test description tag: remove a TODO item from the test suite ref-filter: add test for --contains on a non-commit ref-filter: make combining --merged & --no-merged an error tag doc: reword --[no-]merged to talk about commits, not tips tag doc: split up the --[no-]merged documentation tag doc: move the description of --[no-]merged earlier

- `--contains <commit>` is used to find all branches which will need
special attention if <commit> were to be rebased or amended, since those
