Subject: [GSoC Patch v4 2/4] rev-parse: use append_formatted_path() for path formatting
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:21:10 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615045112.50686-3-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615045112.50686-1-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com>

Now that path formatting logic lives in a shared helper, keeping a
duplicate implementation in rev-parse is unnecessary and risks the
two diverging over time.

Replace the local format_type and default_type enums and the
hand-rolled formatting logic with a call to append_formatted_path().
Introduce PATH_FORMAT_DEFAULT as the initial value of arg_path_format
so that per-path fallback behavior is resolved in print_path() rather
than leaked into the shared helper.
