At some point, I'd expect something like

  filtered_list_of_refs = filer(full_list_of_refs, description_of_filter);

That would remove some refs from full_list_of_refs according to
description_of_filter.

(totally invented code, only to show the idea)

If there's a piece of code looking like this, then you need a data
structure to store list of refs (full_list_of_refs and
filtered_list_of_refs) and another to describe what you're doing with it
(description_of_filter).

The name ref_filter implies to me that it contains the description of
the filter, but looking at the code it doesn't seem to be the case.
