<pull.726.v2.git.1611954543.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

Currently, there exists a separate logic for %(trailers) in "pretty.{c,h}" and "ref-filter.{c,h}". Both are actually doing the same thing, why not use the same code for both of them?

This is the 3rd version of the patch series. It is focused on unifying the "%(trailers)" logic for both 'pretty.{c,h}' and 'ref-filter.{c,h}'. So, we can have one logic for trailers.

v3 changes:
 * replaced echo with printf in the tests failing in previous version for
   consistent behaviour.
 * strbuf_reset() is back in format_set_trailers_options().
 * made struct ref_trailer_buf static.
 * initialised structure variable ref_trailer_buf . so we may not encounter
   any problem while doing strbuf_reset().
 * refer to the trailers part of "git-log"'s man page in
   "git-for-each-ref"'s man page.
 * improved commit messages.
/* TODO */

As suggested by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason avarab@gmail.com here [https://public-inbox.org/git/875z3ep30j.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/], I plan to unify the trailers related tests for "git log" and "git for-each-ref" in new file. Maybe on top of this patch series?

          pretty.c: capture invalid trailer argument
      
     -    As we would like to use this same logic in ref-filter, it's nice to
     -    get invalid trailer argument. This will allow us to print precise
     -    error message, while using `format_set_trailers_options()` in
     +    As we would like to use this trailers logic in the ref-filter, it's
     +    nice to get an invalid trailer argument. This will allow us to print
     +    precise error message while using `format_set_trailers_options()` in
          ref-filter.
      
     +    For capturing the invalid argument, we changed the working of
     +    `format_set_trailers_options()` a little bit.
     +    Original logic does "break" and fell through in mainly 2 cases -
     +        1. unknown/invalid argument
     +        2. end of the arg string
     +
     +    But now instead of "break", we capture invalid argument and return
     +    non-zero. And non-zero is handled by the caller.
     +    (We prepared the caller to handle non-zero in the previous commit).
     +
     +    Capturing invalid arguments this way will also affects the working
     +    of current logic. As at the end of the arg string it will return non-zero.
     +    So in order to make things correct, introduced an additional conditional
     +    statement i.e if encounter ")", do 'break'.

     -+** 'only[=val]': select whether non-trailer lines from the trailer

     -+   option is given multiple times only the last one is used.

     -+   option was given. In same way as to for `only` it can be followed
