+- Placeholders that expand to a single literal character:
+'%n':: newline
+'%%':: a raw '%'
+'%x00':: print a byte from a hex code
+
+- Placeholders that affect formatting of later placeholders:
+'%Cred':: switch color to red
+'%Cgreen':: switch color to green
+'%Cblue':: switch color to blue
+'%Creset':: reset color
+'%C(...)':: color specification, as described under Values in the
+ "CONFIGURATION FILE" section of linkgit:git-config[1]. By
+ default, colors are shown only when enabled for log output
+ (by `color.diff`, `color.ui`, or `--color`, and respecting
+ the `auto` settings of the former if we are going to a
+ terminal). `%C(auto,...)` is accepted as a historical
+ synonym for the default (e.g., `%C(auto,red)`). Specifying
+ `%C(always,...) will show the colors even when color is
+ not otherwise enabled (though consider just using
+ `--color=always` to enable color for the whole output,
+ including this format and anything else git might color).
+ `auto` alone (i.e. `%C(auto)`) will turn on auto coloring
+ on the next placeholders until the color is switched
+ again.

+ least N columns, padding spaces on
+ the right if necessary. Optionally
+ truncate at the beginning (ltrunc),
+ the middle (mtrunc) or the end
+ (trunc) if the output is longer than

+'%>>(<N>)', '%>>|(<N>)':: similar to '%>(<N>)', '%>|(<N>)'
+ respectively, except that if the next
