Do you mean "provided by ref-filter.{c,h}"?

I took time to understand the problem, but here's my understanding:
ref-filter expects the code to look like
format = ...;
verify_ref_format(format);
filter_refs(...);
for (...)
show_ref_array_item(..., format, ...);
and in the case of "git branch -v", you need to align the sha1s based on
the longest branch name, i.e. use %(padright:N+1) where N is the longest
branch name. And you can get N only after calling filter_refs, while you
need it for verify_ref_format().
Is my understanding correct?
If so, what prevents swapping the order of verify_ref_format and
filter_refs? I understand that verify_ref_format() builds used_atom and
other data-structures, hence it has to be called before
show_ref_array_item() and before sorting, but I don't think you need it
before filter_refs (I may have missed something though).
So, the code could look like:
filter_refs(...)
if (--format is given)
format = the argument of --format
else
format = STRBUF_INIT;
strbuf_add(&format, "%(some_directive_to_display '*' if needed)");
if (verbose)
strbuf_addf(&format, "%(padright:%d)", max_width);
...
verify_ref_format(format);
ref_array_sort(...);
for (...)
show_ref_array_item(...);
(BTW, a trivial helper function to display the whole ref_array could
help. It would avoid having each caller write the 'for' loop)
Ideally, you could also have a modifier atom %(alignleft) that would
not need an argument and that would go through the ref_array to find the
maxwidth, and do the alignment. That would give even more flexibility to
the end users of "for-each-ref --format".
