From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

The struct pretty_print_context contains the context in which the placeholders in format_commit_one() should be parsed. Although format_commit_one() primarily acts as a parser, there is no way for a caller to plug in custom callbacks. Now, callers can:

1. Parse a custom placeholder that is not supported by
   format_commit_one(), and act on it independently of the pretty
   machinery.
2. Parse a custom placeholder to substitute the custom placeholder with
   a placeholder that format_commit_one() understands.  This is
   especially useful for supporting %>(*), where * is substituted with a
   length computed by the caller.

To support these two usecases, the interface for the function looks like:

typedef size_t (*format_message_fn)(struct strbuf *sb,
				const char *placeholder,
				void *format_context,
				void *user_data,
				struct strbuf *placeholder_subst)

It is exactly like format_commit_one(), except that there are two additional fields: user_data (to pass custom data to the callback), and placeholder_subst (to set the substitution). The callback should return the length of the original string parsed, and optionally set placeholder_subst.
