It will be displayed as-is but that's a bit inconsistent: %(unknown)
prints error and aborts while %unknown simply produces %unknown. The
latter is how "git log --format" does it. But I think we could make
for-each-ref --pretty to do the former for %unknown. It'll be
consistent with %(unknown) and we do not need to elaborate much (it's
pretty obvious when it does not work).
