Sorry, false alarm. I just had a typo in my format.

This seems to work with the patch I posted earlier:

  git for-each-ref \
    --format='%(if)%(HEAD)%(then)* %(color:bold green)%(else)%(if)%(worktree)%(then)+ %(color:green)%(else) %(end)%(end)%(refname)' \
  refs/heads

It sure would be nice if there was a way to insert line breaks without impacting the output. ;)
