Afaict, ls-remote matches the wildcard character against any
character, including /.

$ git ls-remote gittest refs/*/foo/bar
69ab4bdbb5f3725ca594a2abdb636ee8fc25e1c4        refs/tags/abc/foo/bar
c8647b027d88af180e90d842577518b73ef6a167        refs/tags/foo/bar
149c3c329515086af1ae4e24b12b17100ae16256        refs/tags/xyz/foo/bar
