Probably userformat_find_requirements() could (and should) be taught to report on decoration flags, like it does for notes. As it is now we call load_ref_decorations() repeatedly while processing the commits (which works because it's a noop after the first call). And once we can do that, it would be easy to do something like: if (decoration_style && !want->decorations) decoration_style = 0; But I think that may only be part of the story. Do all of the output formats show decorations? I think --format=email, for instance, does not. So the real question is not just "does the user format want decorations", but "does the pretty format want decorations". Which requires knowing things about each format that might get out of sync with the rest of the code. That might be OK if it lives in pretty.c. But the lazy-load thing make sit just work without having to duplicate the logic at all. -Peff
