This is the fifth version of my patch series to print root refs in git-for-each-ref(1). With the introduction of the reftable backend, it becomes ever so important to provide the necessary tooling for printing all refs associated with a worktree. While regular refs stored within the "refs/" namespace are currently supported by multiple commands like git-for-each-ref(1), git-show-ref(1). Neither support printing root refs within the worktree. This patch series is a follow up to the RFC/discussion we had earlier on the list [1]. The first 4 commits add the required functionality to ensure we can print all refs (regular, pseudo, HEAD). The 5th commit modifies the git-for-each-ref(1) command to add the "--include-root-refs" command which will include HEAD and pseudorefs with regular "refs/" refs. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20231221170715.110565-1-karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx/#t Changes from v4: 1. Fixed erratic whitespace 2. Remove braces from single line block 3. Starting the comments with a capital and also adding more context. 4. Removed a duplicate check. Thanks for the reviews.
