[PATCHv2] git-log --format: Add %B tag with %B(x) option

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since one can simply use spaces to indent any other --pretty field we
should have an option to do that with the body too.

Also the %B flag strips the trailing newlines, to enable more compact
display.

Hi again,

I followed Junio's implementation-advice. Since we have two placeholders which 
take () arguments I put the scanning for those at the top, to avoid repetition. 
I used strtol in place of atoi and I also had to to add a check for ident > 0 
since the indent determines the growth-size of the buffer, and negative values 
produced nasty stuff (obviously).

As for general extendability: The current code deals with %B(42) as well as 
%B(42,23[,...]), so even old versions could be used with "new" pretty-formats.  
%B(c5) is simply no ident, while %B(5c) is 5 spaces indent. Don't know if this 
is unwanted behaviour, but that's what strtol gives us.

Dscho sent me a pointer to a patch [1], which not only adds indent but also 
rewrapping. But since this is my second patch and Dscho's patch depended on two 
other patches I didn't want to get in over my head by making his patches a 
prerequisite.

A last word on future formats: We can use (x,y,z) easily, another thing one 
might think of (or at least I do) is using an %an[20] syntax, returning only 
the first 20 chars of %an, so one can make onelined outputs nicely 
column-aligned for fields like the author.

Greetings,
Jojo
