It would be easier if StGit DTRT and stored its metadata in a stgit/ namespace. That way you could just do `gitk --branches=refs/heads/`. There's (afaik) no way to specify what refs not to show, you'd need to teach 'git rev-list' a way to ignore a ref space. You'd have to teach it how to interpret something like `git rev-list --all --not --branches=refs/heads/*.stgit`.
