Is the reason why you do not call this "abbrev" because you are allowing it to truncate to a non-unique prefix? If so, wouldn't it make more sense to treat this kind of string function in a way very similar to your earlier "padright"? I.e. "%(maxwidth:5)%(objectname)" or something? If not, and if this is really an abbrev, then it makes sense to make it specific to the objectname, e.g. "%(objectname:abbrev=7)". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
