[PATCH 2/2] branch, for-each-ref: add option to omit empty lines

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

 



If the given format string expands to the empty string a newline is
still printed it. This makes using the output linewise more tedious. For
example, git update-ref --stdin does not accept empty lines.

Add options to branch and for-each-ref to not print these empty lines.
The default behavior remains the same.

The logic is more or less duplicated in branch.c and for-each-ref.c
which I don't like. However I couldn't really find a "central" place to
put it. Imo. it's definitely not a property of the format or the filter,
so struct ref_format and struct ref_filter are no good.

I also started working on a patch to make update-ref --stdin accept
empty lines. But that seems to be a much more deliberate decision, with
tests to verify it and all. So I stopped pursuing that.
