Is this something you can detect at load-time once, store the result
in a private variable and then switch on it at runtime, something
along the lines of...


	# on load...
	printf -v __git_printf_supports_v -- "%s" yes >/dev/null 2>&1
        
	...

	if test "${__git_printf_supports_v}" = yes
        then
		printf -v gitstring -- "$printf_format" "$gitstring"
	else
		gitstring=$(printf -- "$printf_format" "$gitstring")
        fi
