I mentioned an idea to enhance the pretty=format language with a string function syntax that people can extend by adding new functions in one of the "What's cooking" messages earlier. The general syntax would be like
%[function(args...)any string here%]
where "any string here" part would have the usual pretty=format strings. E.g. git show -s --format='%{w(72,8,4)%s%+b%]' should give you a line wrapped commit log message if w(width,in1,in2) is such a function.
This series is a proof of concept, as I didn't actually plug the "wrapping" code into it; it would be fairly straightforward to integrate the logic Dscho made strbuf capable in js/log-wrap series (queued in 'pu') to finish this.
Junio C Hamano (3):
format_commit_message(): fix function signature
strbuf_nested_expand(): allow expansion to interrupt in the middle
Add proof-of-concept %[w(width,in1,in2)<<any-string>>%]
