Next try: is it not true that we can check that "$tempdir/backup-refs"
is correct, i.e. identical to what 'for-each-ref' outputs for the desired
directory?
True.
So we could make a subdirectory, set up a dummy branch with one commit,
call filter-branch with a tmpdir that is in _another_ subdirectory, with a
filter that just returns false, so that the tmpdir is not deleted, and
verify the contents of $tmpdir/backup-refs, no?
AFAICS $tmpdir is always deleted, filter-branch sets a trap to ensure
this. But using a filter to copy backup-refs elsewhere works. Patch
follows.
