I understand your confusion here. If we need to combine these
boolean values in --format with %(if) %(else) of ref-filter in the future,
we can only do this strange design. Output like "true"/"false" or "1"/"0"
would be better without considering %(if), %(else).

Good idea.
I deliberately removed the space between %(path) and
%(skipworktree) before, because according to the current design,
the "" output by %(skipworktree) is empty, which leads to an extra
space at the end of the output line, which will break github's
"whitespace" ci tests. Maybe swapping the location of %(path) and
%(skipworktree) will fix this.
