A while ago I started on (but did not get very far on) unifying the ref
selection code for for-each-ref, tag, and branch. It would be nice if
they all supported the same set of --contains/--points-at/--merged/--sort,
etc.

I do plan to finish it eventually, but if anyone else feels like picking
it up, I'd be glad to review patches and/or share my work-in-progress as
a starting point.
