I still think that the two clean-ups I mentioned are both worth
doing, but without them, but with the simplification of the code 
I suggested, the resulting helper becomes like this, which I think
is quite easy to understand.  It seems to pass t4202, which you
updated, too.



int ref_filter_match(const char *refname,
		     const struct string_list *include_patterns,
		     const struct string_list *exclude_patterns,
		     const struct string_list *exclude_patterns_config)
{
	struct string_list_item *item;

	if (exclude_patterns && exclude_patterns->nr) {
		for_each_string_list_item(item, exclude_patterns) {
			if (match_ref_pattern(refname, item))
				return 0;
		}
	}

	if (include_patterns && include_patterns->nr) {
		for_each_string_list_item(item, include_patterns) {
			if (match_ref_pattern(refname, item)) {
				return 1;
			}
		}
		return 0;
	}

	if (exclude_patterns_config && exclude_patterns_config->nr) {
		for_each_string_list_item(item, exclude_patterns_config) {
			if (match_ref_pattern(refname, item))
				return 0;
		}
	}

	return 1;
}
