DESCRIPTION
-----------
Iterate over all refs that match `<pattern>` and show them
according to the given `<format>`, after sorting them according
-to the given set of `<key>`s. If `<max>` is given, stop after
-showing that many refs. The interporated values in `<format>`
+to the given set of `<key>`. If `<max>` is given, stop after
+showing that many refs. The interpolated values in `<format>`
can optionally be quoted as string literals in the specified
host language allowing their direct evaluation in that language.

at a tag object, the value for the field in the object
tag refers is used. When unspecified, defaults to
- `%(refname)`.
+ `%(objectname) SPC %(objecttype) TAB %(refname)`.
+ It also interpolates `%%` to `%`, and `%xx` where `xx`

+ `xx`; for example `%00` interpolates to `\0` (NUL),
+ `%09` to `\t` (TAB) and `%0a` to `\n` (LF).
<pattern>::
If given, the name of the ref is matched against this
using fnmatch(3). Refs that do not match the pattern
are not shown.

If given, strings that substitute `%(fieldname)`
placeholders are quoted as string literals suitable for
the specified host language. This is meant to produce
For all objects, the following names can be used:
refname::
- The name of the ref (the part after $GIT_DIR/refs/).
+ The name of the ref (the part after $GIT_DIR/).
objecttype::
The type of the object (`blob`, `tree`, `commit`, `tag`).
