I haven't looked at how painful it might be to use ref-filter.c, but it would buy us even more if we could. That would open up other options like --format, I think (OTOH there may be some funny corner cases; that code assumes we're talking about local refs, so if you were to ask for "%(committerdate)" or something, we might have to more cleanly handle the case where we don't actually have the object). -Peff
