After this review, I'm starting to think that leaving it empty by default would be better. Specially after the review by Phillip Wood [1], who has a good argument for it: """ As this is a plumbing command I think it would be clearer if the caller was required to specify the output format and the information that they require with an "--all" option for "show me everything" as Junio suggested. If we were to set defaults for the format and keys now we would be stuck with them forever. """ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/af27af92-73d5-4f0a-84f4-9c91de6ab6e6@xxxxxxxxx/
