Ahh, ok, fair enough. git-rev-list won't give you that.
And yes, the general rule is that anything under .git/refs/ is potentially
a reference. If it's under "heads/" or "tags/" it's a branch/tag, and then
the prefix "heads/" or "tags/" shouldn't be part of the name - you already
show the difference with colors. Anything else is unusual, but bisection
puts refs in the ".git/refs/bisect" directory for example, and if gitk
were to show those, it should probably show them in yet another color, and
_with_ the "bisect/" prefix..
