completion: fix completion after 'git -C <path>'
The main completion function finds the name of the git command by iterating through all the words on the command line in search for the first non-option-looking word. As it is not aware of 'git -C's mandatory path argument, if the '-C <path>' option is present, 'path' will be the first such word and it will be mistaken for a git command. This breaks completion in various ways: - If 'path' happens to match one of the commands supported by the completion script, then options of that command will be offered. - If 'path' doesn't match a supported command and doesn't contain any characters not allowed in Bash identifier names, then the completion script does basically nothing and Bash in turn falls back to filename completion for all subsequent words. - Otherwise, if 'path' does contain such an unallowed character, then it leads to a more or less ugly error message in the middle of the command line. The standard '/' directory separator is such a character, and it happens to trigger one of the uglier errors: $ git -C some/path <TAB>sh.exe": declare: `_git_some/path': not a valid identifier error: invalid key: alias.some/path Fix this by skipping 'git -C's mandatory path argument while iterating over the words on the command line. Extend the relevant test with this case and, while at it, with cases that needed similar treatment in the past ('--git-dir', '-c', '--work-tree' and '--namespace'). Additionally, silence the standard error of the 'declare' builtins looking for the completion function associated with the git command and of the 'git config' query for the aliased command. So if git ever learns a new option with a mandatory argument in the future, then, though the completion script will again misbehave, at least the command line will not be utterly disrupted by those error messages.
