Yeah, it does sound strange now that you take the example of "lenghtint".

That is true. After I read your email, I started thinking of redesigning it. My initial thought on doing this was to mimic the other atoms' design in "struct used_atom" but now that I have read your email, it seems that such a design doesn't work. Maybe I could do something like how it is handled in pretty while also not losing the design of other atoms in "struct used_atom". > > @@ -462,6 +471,66 @@ static int contents_atom_parser(struct ref_format *format, struct used_atom *ato > > return 0; > > } > > > > +static int parse_describe_option(const char *arg) > > +{ > > + if (!arg) > > + return D_BARE; > > + else if (starts_with(arg, "tags")) > > + return D_TAGS; > > + else if (starts_with(arg, "abbrev")) > > + return D_ABBREV; > > + else if(starts_with(arg, "exclude")) > > + return D_EXCLUDE; > > + else if (starts_with(arg, "match")) > > + return D_MATCH; > > + return -1; > > +} > > + > > +static int describe_atom_parser(struct ref_format *format UNUSED, > > + struct used_atom *atom, > > + const char *arg, struct strbuf *err) > > +{ > > + int opt = parse_describe_option(arg); > > + > > + switch (opt) { > > + case D_BARE: > > + break; > > + case D_TAGS: > > + /* > > + * It is also possible to just use describe:tags, which > > + * is just treated as describe:tags=1 > > + */ > > + if (skip_prefix(arg, "tags=", &arg)) { > > + if (strtoul_ui(arg, 10, &atom->u.describe.tagbool)) > > This is not how you accept a Boolean. > > "1", "0", "yes", "no", "true", "false", "on", "off" are all valid > values and you use git_parse_maybe_bool() to parse them.

Yeah. I'll reroll with the necessary changes so that we handle many options like the Documentation patch says and also the other things you pointed out. Thanks
