How do we implement color.branch.(current|local|remote|plain)?  In the
current code, we take a crude approach by hand-constructing argc, argv
strings and passing it to cmd_for_each_ref().  There are no
conditionals in the format syntax (and introducing one is probably not
a good idea either): so, I'm guessing these configuration variables
have to be read by for-each-ref?

A bigger
problem is show_detached(), --[no-]merged, --with and --contains. We
need to move some of those code over to for-each-ref.

I saw that you fixed this.

Another problem
is the new "branch -v" seems to less responsive than old "branch -v"
because (I think) of sorting, even if we don't need it.

Does your track-responsiveness patch fix this?

I checked out
your branch, made some more updates and pushed out to my
for-each-ref-pretty again. Changes are:

*pants* Sorry, I'm finding it hard to keep up.
