Use get_pretty_userformat() to interpret the --pretty string. This means that you can now reference a format specified in a pretty.* configuration variable as an argument to 'git for-each-ref --pretty='. There are two caveats:

1. A leading "format:" or "tformat:" is automatically stripped and
   ignored.  Separator semantics are not configurable (yet).
2. No built-in formats are available.  The ones specified in
   pretty-formats (oneline, short etc) don't make sense when displaying
   refs anyway.
