Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] parse-options API users: align usage output in C-strings
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2021 02:13:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v4-1.4-64d8647340d-20210912T235347Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-v4-0.4-00000000000-20210912T235347Z-avarab@gmail.com>

In preparation for having continued usage lines properly aligned in
"git <cmd> -h" output, let's have the "[" on the second such lines
align with the "[" on the first line.

In some cases this makes the output worse, because e.g. the "git
ls-remote -h" output had been aligned to account for the extra
whitespace that the usage_with_options_internal() function in
parse-options.c would add.

In other cases such as builtin/stash.c (not changed here), we were
aligned in the C strings, but since that didn't account for the extra
padding in usage_with_options_internal() it would come out looking
misaligned, e.g. code like this:

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"

Would emit:

   or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]

Let's change all the usage arrays which use such continued usage
output via "\n"-embedding to be like builtin/stash.c.

This makes the output worse temporarily, but in a subsequent change
I'll improve the usage_with_options_internal() to take this into
account, at which point all of the strings being changed here will
emit prettier output.
