I am glad you got a chance to look at it. :)

Neat, if a bit hack-ish. :) You are missing a closing quotation mark
after

  cat > "$tmp

and the line break between TIG_MAIN_CMD and tig is obviously problematic
(presumably an artifact of the email, but it confused my cut and paste
efforts for a minute). One other thing to note is that even though you
try to handle a $tmp with whitespace in the cat and rm commands, I
suspect it would fail when tig hands TIG_MAIN_CMD to the shell. That
would require double-quoting.

So here is my cut-and-pastable version:

  tignowalk() {
    tmp=$(mktemp)
    cat >"$tmp"
    TIG_MAIN_CMD="git rev-list --pretty=raw --no-walk --stdin <$tmp" \
      tig </dev/tty
    rm "$tmp"
  }

The output looks great, though. Doing

  git show-ref --heads | cut -d' ' -f2 | tignowalk

is nice. :)

Sorry, I don't know if that is intentional or not.
