We do not have immediate need for such facility to be used by other scripts. On the other hand, we know exactly what git-prompt wants to see available, and you already implemented them. So just losing "make assignment asuming $'blah' works, and then reassign based on what printf gave us" and always using the printf thing is what we want to see here. > assign_as_fmt \ > __git_SOH='\1' __git_STX='\2' __git_ESC='\33' \ > __git_LF='\n' __git_CRLF='\r\n' Are you sure that everybody's implementation of printf(1) is happy with \d and \dd? I am an old timer who learnt in a distant past to always spell octals as \ddd without omitting any leading 0-digit, because some was unhappy. Thanks.
