[PATCH/RFC 0/5] status, commit: separate "# " from the translatable part of output

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Hi,

This series makes wt-status and builtin-commit code a little
less explicit about the '#' signs they produce in their output.
The main goal is to make messages like

		"\n"
		"It looks like you may be committing a MERGE.\n"
		"If this is not correct, please remove the file\n"
		"	%s\n"
		"and try again.\n"
		""

safe to translate by getting rid of the functionally important initial
# signs; a nice side effect is to make the source code a little easier
# to read and change (for example if we want to use some other kind
of formatting some day for "git status" output).

The first two patches (va_copy, strbuf_vaddf) are stolen from Jeff's
GIT_TRACE_FACET series.

Thanks for your help and patience so far.  I hope the series can be
useful.

Jeff King (2):
  compat: provide a fallback va_copy definition
  strbuf: add strbuf_vaddf

Jonathan Nieder (3):
  wt-status: add helpers for printing wt-status lines
  commit: refer to commit template as s->fp
  commit, status: use status_printf{,_ln,_more} helpers
