I think you'll see that the intention of the above is to quote the
entirty of the result of %(if...)...%(end) if you read the previous
discussion. The "quoting" is used when you say you are making --format
write a script in specified programming language, e.g.
for-each-ref --shell --format='
a=%(atom) b=%(if...)...%(end)
do interesting things using $a and $b here
' | sh
You are correct to point out in the earlier part of your message I
am responding to that %(align) is not special and any nested thing
including %(if) will uniformly trigger the same "usually each atom
is quoted separately, but with this opening atom, everything up to
the matching end atom is evaluated first and then the result is
quoted" logic.
