[PATCH 00/15] Towards a more awesome git-branch

Hi,

Duy and I have been working on this topic for some time now. Here's a review candidate. Duy did most of the chunky work, and I mostly did review/documentation. The key patches are:

[5/15] is a brilliant patch that made this entire thing possible. [10/15] is another brilliant patch to auto-calculate widths.

Duy is currently writing code to factor out -v[v] and adding --sort, --count to git-branch, but I'm having a lot of difficulty working with a series of this size. I'm leaning towards getting this merged before tackling branch (who wants to review a 40-part series?). Especially after [14/15] and [15/15], git for-each-ref should be usable in its own right. I currently have:

[pretty] hot = %C(red)%(HEAD)%C(reset) %C(green)%(refname:short)%C(reset)%(upstream:trackshort) [alias] hot = for-each-ref --pretty=hot --count 10 --sort='-committerdate' refs/heads

Which is really useful and manageable until we port these options to branch and get nice configuration variables.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (8):
  for-each-ref, quote: convert *_quote_print -> *_quote_buf
  for-each-ref: don't print out elements directly
  pretty: extend pretty_print_context with callback
  pretty: allow passing NULL commit to format_commit_message()
  for-each-ref: get --pretty using format_commit_message
  for-each-ref: teach verify_format() about pretty's syntax
  for-each-ref: introduce format specifier %>(*) and %<(*)
  for-each-ref: improve responsiveness of %(upstream:track)

Ramkumar Ramachandra (7):
  tar-tree: remove dependency on sq_quote_print()
  quote: remove sq_quote_print()
  pretty: limit recursion in format_commit_one()
  for-each-ref: introduce %(HEAD) marker
  for-each-ref: introduce %(upstream:track[short])
  pretty: introduce get_pretty_userformat
  for-each-ref: use get_pretty_userformat in --pretty
