Not committed yet formatter

[knpwrs]

I have current_line_blame_formatter = ' <author>, <author_time:%Y-%m-%d> - <summary>'. The  symbol (from nerd fonts, it's a source control symbol) helps to distinguish the virtual text from gitsigns from other text. The virtual text which says Not Committed Yet doesn't have any distinguishing characteristics, it would be really nice to be able to configure it to say  Not Committed Yet instead.

What do you propose?

Hmm, what about:

require('gitsigns').setup {
  ...
  current_line_blame_formatter = function(name, info)
    local text
    if info.author == 'Not Committed Yet' then
      text = ' '..info.author
    else    
      local fmt = ' <author>, <author_time:%Y-%m-%d> - <summary>'
      text = require('gitsigns.utils').expand_blame_format(fmt, name, info)
    end

    return {{ text, 'GitSignsCurrentLineBlame' }}
  end
}

We would just need to expose expand_blame_format.

That would work for me! As long as it's documented.

@knpwrs I added config.current_line_blame_formatter_nc instead (in #524). Does this work for you?

[knpwrs]

Sure would!
