Attached is a quick fix for this.  The 'b:' selector is an explicit glob
now - "b:net.venge.monotone" gets only the net.venge.monotone branch,
"b:*net.venge.monotone*" gets the ol behavior.

Behavior for the other selectors shouldn't have changed.  However, their
behavior was not as documented.  Most are doing a '*%s*' glob search
("b:ge.monotone.gu" would find the net.venge.monotone.gui branch), even
though the documentation implied that it was a '%s*' search.
