I just had an idea that might bring pretty stuff to for-each-ref with
probably reasonable effort, making for-each-ref format a superset of
pretty. But I need to clean up my backlog first. Give me a few days, I
will show you something (or give up ;)

And I can't get it out of my head. Might as well write it down. Check out

Ram, fetch the url above again. Its tip now is 5b4aa27 (for-each-ref:
introduce format specifier %>(*) and %<(*) - 2013-05-25). Those
changes make for-each-ref --format a superset of pretty. You can add
new %(xxx) on top and resend the whole thing to the list for review.
You can remove "branch -v/-vv" code as well or I'll add some patches
on top to do that later. I have some compatibility concerns about the
"superset" thing. But let's wait until the series hits git@vger.
