+       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
+       match any of the --exclude patterns. Use `--no-exclude` to clear and
+       reset the list of patterns.
