Shawn O. Pearce 5558e55c06 Teach for-each-ref about a little language called Tcl.
Love it or hate it, some people actually still program in Tcl.  Some
of those programs are meant for interfacing with Git.  Programs such as
gitk and git-gui.  It may be useful to have Tcl-safe output available
from for-each-ref, just like shell, Perl and Python already enjoy.

Thanks to Sergey Vlasov for pointing out the horrible flaws in the
first and second version of this patch, and steering me in the right
direction for Tcl value quoting.

/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
* any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
* is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
* single quote pair.
*
* For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
* argument:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
*
* would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to
* run the command on the other side:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
* sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
*
* Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
* sq_quote() in a real application.
*
* sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
* will return the number of characters that would have been written
* excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
