Subject: [PATCH] Teach for-each-ref about a little language called Tcl.

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 02:22:58 -0500

Love it or hate it, some people actually still program in Tcl.  Some
of those programs are meant for interfacing with Git.  Programs such as
gitk and git-gui.  It may be useful to have Tcl-safe output available
from for-each-ref, just like shell, Perl and Python already enjoy.
