... given that we are showing branch name, perhaps "branch.name"
instead of "branch.head" is more appropriate?
Either way is fine with me. I just saw your comments on
commit v4-7/8. And leaving it as is is fine.
I wondered if "# " prefix before these lines is useful, by the way,
and initially thought that the fact that these lines begin with
"branch." and not with the "1/2/u $key" sufficient clue for whoever
reads them, but the reader can tell which kind of record it is by
reading the first two characters of each line (i.e. if "# " that is
not the usual "change info for a single file"), so it is actually a
good idea.
Yes, I used the "#" prefix to indicate a header line so that
parsers can always look at the first character and decide.
I set it up so the "--branch" argument creates "# branch.*" headers.
In my first patch series, I included worktree state information
(such as in-a-rebase and the rebase step counts), but it was thought
that that should be an independent effort. So, using this model,
if we later do add a "--state" argument, it would create "# state.*"
headers. And we would not have to change the --porcelain=v2 version
number.
