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
   branches contain the specified <commit>.
 
+- `--no-contains <commit>` is the inverse of that, i.e. branches that don't

 - `--merged` is used to find all branches which can be safely deleted,
   since those branches are fully contained by HEAD.
