I doubt it.  Next thing people would start talking about is what
to do with the remote tracking branches, and what we are talking
about is rev-list, one of the lower level of plumbing that would
be better left without knowing much about the Porcelain's use of
refs/ namespaces.

If you (as a Porcelain) want to get all refs under refs/heads/,
there are (unfortunately) two ways to get that list.  I would
suggest obtain the refs you want that way, pass them as command
line arguments to rev-list.

$ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/heads
$ git show-ref --heads | sed -e 's/^[^ ]* //'
