See PHI958. Ref T13210. Previously, see PHI720.

The use case for the magic in PHI720 involves multiple patterns, and no parameter can be passed to branch that will result in multiple patterns being passed to git.

Replace the implicit magic with an explicit patterns parameter.

This whole thing is a bit shaky but probably isn't hurting anything.

• Ran query with no patterns.
• Ran query with invalid patterns, got readable error.
• Ran query with various valid patterns (plain branch name, globs with "?" and "*"), got sensible results.
