Yeah, that was my thought on reading the initial patch, too. Why limit ourselves to newlines and spaces. I'd much rather have full conditional expansion, like "${foo:+prefix $foo suffix}" in the shell. Something like the patch below might work, but I didn't test it very thoroughly (and note the comments, which might need dealing with). Maybe it would make a sensible base for Harry to build on if he wants to pursue this.

We unconditionally include the " (...)" wrapper when expanding it. But assuming we introduced a "%D" that is _just_ the decoration names, you could do: %if(%D, (%D)) to get the same effect with much more flexibility. --- diff --git a/pretty.c b/pretty.c index fe34ddc..96cd512 100644 --- a/pretty.c +++ b/pretty.c @@ -1398,6 +1398,42 @@ static size_t format_commit_item(struct strbuf *sb, /* in UTF-8 */ ADD_SP_BEFORE_NON_EMPTY } magic = NO_MAGIC; + if (starts_with(placeholder, "if(")) { + const char *cond_beg, *cond_end; + const char *data_beg, *data_end; + char *buf; + struct strbuf scratch = STRBUF_INIT; + + /* can't handle commas in conditions; allow backslash-escaping? */ + cond_beg = cond_end = placeholder + 3; + for (cond_end = cond_beg; *cond_end != ','; cond_end++) + if (!*cond_end) + return 0; + + /* ditto for nested parentheses; backslash escaping? */ + data_beg = cond_end + 1; + for (data_end = data_beg; *data_end != ')'; data_end++) + if (!*data_end) + return 0; + + /* + * Should teach formatters to return size only without + * actually writing to scratch buffer? + */ + buf = xmemdupz(cond_beg, cond_end - cond_beg); + strbuf_expand(&scratch, buf, format_commit_item, context); + free(buf); + + if (scratch.len) { + buf = xmemdupz(data_beg, data_end - data_beg); + strbuf_expand(sb, buf, format_commit_item, context); + free(buf); + } + strbuf_release(&scratch); + + return data_end - placeholder + 1; + } + switch (placeholder[0]) { case '-': magic = DEL_LF_BEFORE_EMPTY; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
