By the way one thing missing from git-for-each-ref to use it
in gitweb without changing its output is ablility to sort on
"epoch", i.e. taggerdate for tags and committerdate for commits.
This is needed to sort heavyweight and lightweight tags together
on epoch in "summary" and "tags" views in gitweb. (It is not
needed for heads/branches, but it is the tags sorting that
cripples gitweb "summary" view performance.)
I guess something like this, but I haven't tested it heavily.
If you want it in "next" please ack (with necessary fix-up
patches if any).

[PATCH] for-each-ref: epoch and epochdate
This adds "epoch" (which is parallel to "tagger" or "committer")
and "epochdate" (corresponds to "taggerdate" and
"committerdate").
As other "date" fields, "epochdate" sorts numerically
and displays human readably
