Hi,

This iteration contains some minor fixups (courtesy reviews by Eric
Sunshine and Junio), and some tests from Duy squashed in.

I'm starting to think this is a half-baked solution. It hides
problems, for example commit placeholders should produce empty string,
not the literal placeholders. Doing that from a callback is really
ugly. There's also the problem with sorting and quoting (both only
work with for-each-ref atoms only). A better solution may be improving
pretty.c to the point where it can more or less replace f-e-r's
--format. Even more, I think pretty engine should be easily added to
cat-file (especially --batch), as a generic way to extract
information. But for the reason I will send shortly, I will not work
not work on this series or any others.
