[PATCH v5 16/16] branch: implement '--format' option

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

 



Implement the '--format' option provided by 'ref-filter'. This lets the
user list branches as per desired format similar to the implementation
in 'git for-each-ref'.

Add tests and documentation for the same.
