IMHO this is the wrong place to do it, since the caller may already have
the flags (and looking up the ref again is a non-trivial cost).

Well, but not doing this means that we have to pass the flag from the
pretty_print_ref() call stack.

Right. But there are only two callers of that function, so I don't think
it's a big imposition to require it.

My proposal was that we'd have a specific flag in ref-filter to say
"default refname:strip to this value". And then _only_ "tag --verify"
would set that (to "2"), leaving for-each-ref, etc unaffected.

Indeed this may be a feasible solution. I will try to do this first.

Great, thanks for taking a look at it.
