[PATCH v2 08/16] strbuf: accept a comment string for strbuf_commented_addf()

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Mar 12, 2024, 09:17 UTC
Message-ID
<20240312091729.GH95609@coredump.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20240312091013.GA95442@coredump.intra.peff.net>

As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, let's take a NUL-terminated string pointer for strbuf_commented_addf() rather than a single character.

All of the callers have to be adjusted, but they can just pass comment_line_str rather than comment_line_char.

Note that we rely on strbuf_add_commented_lines() under the hood, so we'll cheat a bit to squeeze our string into a single character (for now the two are equivalent, and we'll address this TODO in the next patch).
