Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] pretty: treat "--format=" as an empty userformat

From: Jeff King <[email-masked]>

Until now, we treated "--pretty=" or "--format=" as "give me
the default format". This was not planned nor documented,
but only what happened to work due to our parsing of
"--pretty" (which should give the default format).

Let's instead let these be an actual empty userformat.
Otherwise one must write out the annoyingly long
"--pretty=tformat:" to get the same behavior.

If we are really concerned with people expecting "--pretty=" to turn on
the default format, we could introduce a new mode "none" which does the
same thing behind the scenes. I don't think it's a problem, though.
