I tried to make that part here:
https://github.com/telezhnaya/git/commit/19a148614f1d4db1f8e628eb4e6d7c819d2da875
I know that the code is disgusting and there is a memory leak :) I
just try to reuse ref-filter logic, I will cleanup everything later.
At first, I try to make it work.
The problem is that I have segfault, and if I use gdb, I get:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

I tried to google it, it's my first time when I get that strange
message, and unfortunately find nothing. So please explain me the
reason, why I can't find a place of segfault that way.
Thanks!

By the way, I can create format.h in absolutely another branch, we
could merge it, and I will deal with all merge conflicts with my
current work. It sounds tediously, but actually it's not such a big
problem, I can do that.
But I still need to fully understand, what do you find more proper -
just rename ref-filter, or create new file and move formatting-related
logic.
