Thanks.  It's a bit counterintuitive that the first asterisk in
your example "*v1*" matches something that contains a slash, but
at least the patch makes it usable for me.

By the way, v1.0rc1^0~1593 is the same as v1.0rc1~1593.
Technically, the latter loses the information that the starting
ref is a tag, but I wonder if it is worth keeping that
information at the expense of (slightly) uglier output.
