Yes, I think that is the approach I was pushing initially with the
jc/ref-filter-colors-fix topic that was later retracted; the result
of your 4-patch series more or less matches that one, modulo that I
didn't treat for-each-ref as a plumbing. I do share the worry that
it is hard to make sure that these post-revert adjustment caught
everything; after all, that was a major part of the reason why my
earlier attempt was retracted. I still think this is the _right_
direction to go in, even though it is harder to get right.

True. Let's see what others think. I know Jonathan is running
the fork at $work with "downgrade always to auto" patches, and while
I think both approaches would probably work well in practice, I have
preference for this "harder but right" approach, so I'd want to see
different views discussed on the list before we decide.
Thanks.
