Re: [RFC] Porting builtin/branch.c to use the printing options of ref-filter.{c,h}

A less ambitious option might be:

  3. Invent "%(refname:<some magic>)" format similar to
     %(refname:short) but does your thing depending on the prefix
     refs/heads/ and refs/remotes/.

Actually, this is the option I suggest offline.

but that will not work if the difference between local and remote
format is not merely textual (e.g. paint them in different color).

Hmm, yes, colors would be difficult to get with this solution. Perhaps a
%(refname:autoprefix,autocolor) that would pick the color and do the
textual rendering?
