We use the 'read' command without -r, so that it treats '\' as an
escape character, in several places.  This breaks the loop reading
refnames from git-for-each-ref in __git_refs() if there are refnames
such as "foo'bar", in which case for-each-ref helpfully quotes them as

  $ git update-ref "refs/remotes/test/foo'bar" HEAD
  $ git for-each-ref --shell --format="ref=%(refname:short)" "refs/remotes"
  ref='test/foo'\''bar'

Interpolating the \' here will read "ref='test/foo'''bar'" instead, and
eval then chokes on the unbalanced quotes.

However, since none of the read loops _want_ to have backslashes
interpolated, it's much safer to use read -r everywhere.
