[PATCH v3 0/2] repo: add --format=default and --keys

From: Lucas Seiki Oshiro <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-09 21:26:02

Hi!

The main change in this version is that git-repo-structure now supports
`--format=default`. This way, both git-repo-info and git-repo-structure
now can be used with `--format=default`, which resets the output format
to the default one (`keyvalue` in repo-info, `table` in repo-structure).

I'm also cc'ing Justin to see if he agrees with this change to
git-repo-structure.

Lucas Seiki Oshiro (2):
  repo: add a default output format to enum output_format
  repo: add new flag --keys to git-repo-info

         repo: add a default output format to enum output_format
     
    -    Add a `FORMAT_DEFAULT` value to `enum output_format`. Change the initial
    -    value of `format` to `FORMAT_DEFAULT` in cmd_repo_info, indicating that
    -    the initial value hasn't been changed. Also map the string "default" to
    -    this new value in `parse_format_cb`, allowing future patches to add
    -    support to --format=default.
    +    Add "default" as an option for --format in both git-repo-info and
    +    git-repo-structure. Using `--format=default` makes those commands use
    +    their default output format.
