I'm basing in on the "pretty API" so that we don't have to reinvent
the wheel. I have already noticed that many of the formatting options
available for pretty are not working... I'm sure it would require some
work setting up the call to pretty api but the basic is laid out
there.

Let me know of your thoughts.

I think this may be less awkward if you use format_commit_message() as
the entry point. Then you do not need a rev_info struct at all, it
touches fewer global variables, etc.

I don't know if that would cause the other difficulties you mentioned,
though.

Thanks for the tip, Peff. It made the code to get rev info much
shorter. I'll work on some other improvements and then I'll send
another patch.

Best regards!
