(Nit: it looks like the above link does not work any more, but it
seems that you are talking about the last patch on the catfile
branch.)

I agree that you will have to deal with documentation and tests at one
point and that it could be a good idea to do that now.
I wonder if it is possible to add atoms one by one into ref-filter and
to add tests and documentation at the same time, instead of merging
cat-file atoms with ref-filter atoms in one big step.
When all the cat-file atoms have been added to ref-filter's
valid_atom, maybe you could add ref-filter's atoms to cat-file's
valid_cat_file_atom one by one and add tests and documentation at the
same time.
And then when ref-filter's valid_atom and cat-file's
valid_cat_file_atom are identical you can remove cat-file's
valid_cat_file_atom and maybe after that rename "ref-filter" to
"format".
