Hmm, do we want "--format" added to "tag -l" and "branch -l" in the first place? Scriptors should be using "for-each-ref" plumbing in the first place, and the point of unifying these three is to share filtering features among them, which would make "for-each-ref" able to express what the other two can do. I'd hesitate to add too much flexibility to "branch -l" and "tag -l" Porcelains to entice people to script around them.
