I've just changed the git_get_heads_list function to let 'for-each-ref'
return all top refs instead of just those in refs/heads, and added a line to
remove 'refs/remotes/' from the remote branch names.

Again, probably not the right solution, but now I have remote branches listed
under "heads", and that's all I really need.
