This series is based on a suggestion[1] from Junio in response to
Jacob Stopak's series to add committer month/year options as shortlog
groups.
This series pursues a more flexible approach, where arbitrary pretty
formats can be used to generate group names in shortlog. For example, to
group by committer month/year, you can do the following:
$ git.compile shortlog -s --group='%cd' --date='format:%Y-%m' v2.37.0..
117 2022-06
274 2022-07
325 2022-08
271 2022-09
17 2022-10
, which is cute. It can also be used to reimplement existing
functionality in shortlog, which is what the final three patches in this
series do. Author and committer options are implemented under the hood
as if they were shorthands for `--group='%aN <%aE>'` (or `--group='%cN
<%cE>'`, respectively).
The `--group=trailer:<key>` option is also reimplemented, but it is
slightly trickier than the rest. See the final patch for more details
there.
Thanks in advance for your review.
