[PATCH v7 03/11] ref-filter: add option to pad atoms to the right

@@ -127,6 +127,12 @@ color::
 	Change output color.  Followed by `:<colorname>`, where names
 	are described in `color.branch.*`.
 
+padright::
+	Pad succeeding atom or string to the right. Followed by
+	`:<value>`, where `value` states the total length of atom or
+	string including the padding. If the `value` is lesser than
+	the atom or string length, then no padding is performed.
+
 In addition to the above, for commit and tag objects, the header
 field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
 be used to specify the value in the header field.
