Now I am building %(raw:textconv) and %(raw:filter), the code will be
very difficult to write:
if (format->quote_style && !strncmp(sp, "raw", 3)
&& ((!arg) || (!strncmp(arg,
":textconv", 9)) || (!strncmp(arg, ":filter", 7))))
return strbuf_addf_ret(err, -1, _("--format=%.*s
cannot be used with"
"--python, --shell, --tcl, --perl"),
(int)(ep-atom), atom);
Is there any good way?
The problem you are having sounds like a natural consequence of
doing the check at the wrong place in the code, at least to me.
