I think it is more common to have options at the end, so I'd write it as

filter_refs(&array, &filter, FILTER_REFS_ALL | FILTER_REFS_INCLUDE_BROKEN);

(changing the declaration too, obviously)

I really like the way cmd_for_each_ref looks like now.

I thought you would make a helper function that would return a pointer
to either for_each_rawref or for_each_ref (or another later), but that
would probably be overkill.
