for-each-ref let's you limit the refs by leading path, so I do
not think "next if" inside the loop is needed if you say

	for-each-ref --perl --format=$fmt refs/heads

Stupid boy :)

Any reason you did not like my version that allows you to get
rid of the while() loop altogether?  (hint: replace eval in my
example with "print" and see what you are evaling)

To my mind we avoid the 'mozilla repo' issue of 1000's of heads
busting some string length limit, or requiring some _vast_ string to
hold it (as perl is likely to cope).  Given we are sifting a small
percentage of the data out of it.

Quite valid reasoning.

Will apply V3 with refs/heads filtering added; no need to
resend.
