We check if given ref is the current branch in print_ref_list().  Move
this check to print_ref_item() where it is checked right before
printing.

This means that the '*' and the different color are coded in C, hence
it's not possible to mimick this using "git for-each-ref --format ...".

I do not consider this as blocking, but I think the ultimate goal should
be to allow this, so that all the goodies of "git branch" can be made
available to other ref-listing commands.

Not sure what you mean here.

He means to make sure that any feature that was in tag, branch,
for-each-ref, etc should be available as part of ref-filter and in all
of them

Maybe he misunderstood code or maybe you misunderstood the comment here?
