     API for users to determine how their objects are formatted. The following
     logic is used to find a function to format an given object.
 
     1. The object is introspected to see if it has a method with the name
        :attr:`print_method`. If is does, that object is passed to that method
        for formatting.

     Users should use these dictionaries to register functions that will be
     used to compute the format data for their objects (if those objects don't
     have the special print methods). The easiest way of using these
     dictionaries is through the :meth:`for_type` and :meth:`for_type_by_name`

     The extended command tries to run git to find the current commit, getting
     the empty string if it fails.  It then writes the commit hash into a file
     in the `pkg_dir` path, named ``.git_commit_info.ini``.
 
     In due course this information can be used by the package after it is
     installed, to tell you what commit it was installed from if known.
 
     To make use of this system, you need a package with a .git_commit_info.ini
     file - e.g. ``myproject/.git_commit_info.ini`` - that might well look like
     this::
 
         # This is an ini file that may contain information about the code state
         [commit hash]
         # The line below may contain a valid hash if it has been substituted
         # during 'git archive'
         archive_subst_hash=$Format:%h$
         # This line may be modified by the install process
         install_hash=
 
     The .git_commit_info file above is also designed to be used with git
     substitution - so you probably also want a ``.gitattributes`` file in the
     root directory of your working tree that contains something like this::
 
        myproject/.git_commit_info.ini export-subst
 
     That will cause the ``.git_commit_info.ini`` file to get filled in by ``git
     archive`` - useful in case someone makes such an archive - for example with
     via the github 'download source' button.
 
     Although all the above will work as is, you might consider having something
     like a ``get_info()`` function in your package to display the commit
     information at the terminal.  See the ``pkg_info.py`` module in the nipy
     package for an example.
