The --name-only option to the command was added in 1.5.3 cycle, but the
original focus was only to support describe.  I do not see any fundamental
reason to disallow it --- we could even say this is a bug.

I've applied the "split single line processing to a separate function" and
then this patch to 'maint' as a bugfix.
