From bc437d10202c015a5733f706dc44fa6bbf4d85b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Nguy=E1=BB=85n=20Th=C3=A1i=20Ng=E1=BB=8Dc=20Duy?= Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 18:03:31 +0200 Subject: fetch: reduce duplicate in ref update status lines with placeholder MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In the "remote -> local" line, if either ref is a substring of the other, the common part in the other string is replaced with "*". For example abc -> origin/abc refs/pull/123/head -> pull/123 become abc -> origin/* refs/*/head -> pull/123 Activated with fetch.output=compact. For the record, this output is not perfect. A single giant ref can push all refs very far to the right and likely be wrapped around. We may have a few options: - exclude these long lines smarter - break the line after "->", exclude it from column width calculation - implement a new format, { -> origin/}foo, which makes the problem go away at the cost of a bit harder to read - reverse all the arrows so we have "* <- looong-ref", again still hard to read.
