Re: [PATCH] for-each-ref: add option to omit newlines

However, when specifying a format string it's just a matter of ending
the format string in '%00' and you're good to go. But then you get the
null byte *and* a newline. And with your proposal there would be no way
of saying you want neither.

I very well understand that.  All other commands that support "-z"
to give you NUL terminated output do not consider that a downside.
Why should for-each-ref be special?
