Re: [PATCH for "next"] pretty-formats: add 'format:<string>'

The supported placeholders are:

	'%H': commit hash
...
	'%b': body

Hmmm.  Would we want to make them somehow interoperable with
git-for-each-ref format atoms?

But those placeholders are so long! Not even GNU date supports such long 
placeholders... And I could not reuse interpolate.[ch] as is for that.

What I was hinting at was to fix (or extend) for-each-ref to
accept these short-and-sweet placeholders.

Also, it _might_ be worthwhile to do something like "%+4b" which means 
"indent each line of this field with 4 spaces", for a multi-line field 
like "%b".

Same goes here: interpolate.[ch] does not (yet) allow for that.

Nah, if you feel it is too much work, I trust your judgement (I
do not recall details of how interpolate.c does its thing).  I
do not think it's worth it.
