t9902-completion: exercise __git_complete_index_file() directly
The tests added in 2f271cd9cf (t9902-completion: add tests demonstrating issues with quoted pathnames, 2018-05-08) and in 2ab6eab4fe (completion: improve handling quoted paths in 'git ls-files's output, 2018-03-28) have a few shortcomings: - All these tests use the 'test_completion' helper function, thus they are exercising the whole completion machinery, although they are only interested in how git-aware path completion, specifically the __git_complete_index_file() function deals with unusual characters in pathnames and on the command line. - These tests can't satisfactorily test the case of pathnames containing spaces, because 'test_completion' gets the words on the command line as a single argument and it uses space as word separator. - Some of the tests are protected by different FUNNYNAMES_* prereqs depending on whether they put backslashes and double quotes or separator characters (FS, GS, RS, US) in pathnames, although a filesystem not allowing one likely doesn't allow the others either. - One of the tests operates on paths containing '|' and '&' characters without being protected by a FUNNYNAMES prereq, but some filesystems (notably on Windows) don't allow these characters in pathnames, either. Replace these tests with basically equivalent, more focused tests that call __git_complete_index_file() directly. Since this function only looks at the current word to be completed, i.e. the $cur variable, we can easily include pathnames containing spaces in the tests, so use such pathnames instead of pathnames containing '|' and '&'. Finally, use only a single FUNNYNAMES prereq for all kinds of special characters. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
