What if I want something in -vvvv except some in -vv? I think to avoid
option explosion, maybe we can adopt --pretty=format:xxx from "git
log" and let the user decideswhat (and how) to display. "pretty" code
learns about alignment already, which may be useful here.

Sure, that is the big solution we've been talking about. Unify
for-each-ref formats and log formats and use that. After all, "git
branch" in list mode really is for-each-ref, and should be transparently
so; same goes for "git tag". Think "git rev-list" and "git ref-list"!

Again I forgot about for-each-ref. Sounds like sharing code between
for-each-ref and branch is a good thing to do. Then just add more
candy placeholders from git-log like %C(xx). Sounds like a fun topic.

But I guess we'll be compabeaten ;)

No idea what that last word means :(
