When I tried to run something like 'git > for-each-ref --sort=creatordate:format:%H:%M:%S', Hmph, this indeed is interesting ;-) I wonder if there are other "sort by numeric but the thing could be stringified by the end-user" atoms offered by for-each-ref machinery. IOW, is the timestamp the only thing that needs this fix? Thanks.
