Add a minimal implementation of _get_comp_words_by_ref so $ git show head:g <tab><tab> on bash 4 can complete paths within the head commit without requiring the bash_completion functions to be loaded. This is a follow-up to the previous patch (bash: get --pretty=m<tab> completion to work with bash v4). Based on bash-completion 2.x (commit bf763033, 2010-10-26) but tweaked for simplicity and to allow zsh to parse the code.

2010-12-14bash: get --pretty=m<tab> completion to work with bash v4Libravatar Peter van der Does1-76/+160
Bash's programmable completion provides the COMP_WORDS array variable, which holds the individual words in the current command line. In bash versions prior to v4 "words are split on shell metacharacters as the shell parser would separate them" (quote from bash v3.2.48's man page). This behavior has changed with bash v4, and the command line "is split into words as readline would split it, using COMP_WORDBREAKS as" "the set of characters that the readline library treats as word separators" (quote from bash v4's man page). Since COMP_WORDBREAKS contains the characters : and = by default, this behavior change in bash affects git's completion script. For example, before bash 4, running $ git log --pretty=m <tab><tab> would give a list of pretty-printing formats starting with 'm' but now it completes on branch names. It would be possible to work around this by removing '=' and ':' from COMP_WORDBREAKS, but as noticed in v1.5.6.4~9^2 (bash completion: Resolve git show ref:path<tab> losing ref: portion, 2008-07-15), that would break *other* completion scripts. The bash-completion library includes a better workaround: the _get_comp_words_by_ref function re-assembles a copy of COMP_WORDS, excluding a collection of word separators of the caller's choice. Use it. As a bonus, this also improves behavior when tab is pressed with the cursor in the middle of a word. To avoid breaking setups with the bash-completion library not already loaded, if the _get_comp_words_by_ref function is not defined then a shim that just reads COMP_WORDS will be used instead (no change from the current behavior in that case).

The current completion function for 'git notes' only supported the 'edit' and 'show' subcommands and none of their options. This patch adds support for all missing subcommands, options, and their arguments (files or refs), if any. The code responsible for completing subcommand looks different compared to the completion functions of other git commands with subcommands. This is because of the '--ref <notes-ref>' option which comes before the subcommand (i.e. git notes --ref <notes-ref> add).

Modify git-completion.bash so that it also works with zsh when using bashcompinit. In particular: declare -F Zsh doesn't have the same 'declare -F' as bash, but 'declare -f' is the same, and it works just as well for our purposes. ${var:2} Zsh does not implement ${var:2} to skip the first 2 characters, but ${var#??} works in both shells to replace the first 2 characters with nothing. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the suggestion. for (( n=1; "$n" ... )) Zsh does not allow "$var" in arithmetic loops. Instead, pre-compute the endpoint and use the variables without $'s or quotes. shopt Zsh uses 'setopt', which has a different syntax than 'shopt'. Since 'shopt' is used infrequently in git-completion, we provide a bare-bones emulation. emulate -L bash KSH_TYPESET Zsh offers bash emulation, which turns on a set of features to closely resemble bash. In particular, this enables SH_WORDSPLIT, which splits scalar variables on word boundaries in 'for' loops. We also need to set KSH_TYPESET, to fix "local var=$(echo foo bar)" issues. The last set of options are turned on only in _git and _gitk. Some of the sub-functions may not work correctly if called directly.

gitk aliases either start with "!gitk", or look something like "!sh -c FOO=bar gitk", IOW they contain the "gitk" word. With this patch the completion script will recognize these cases and will offer gitk's options. Just like the earlier change improving on aliased command recognition, this change can also be fooled easily by some complex aliases, but users of such aliases could remedy it with custom completion functions.

2010-02-24bash: support user-supplied completion scripts for aliasesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+7
Shell command aliases can get rather complex, and the completion script can not always determine correctly the git command invoked by such an alias. For such cases users might want to provide custom completion scripts the same way like for their custom commands made possible by the previous patch. The current completion script does not allow this, because if it encounters an alias, then it will unconditionally perform completion for the aliased git command (in case it can determine the aliased git command, of course). With this patch the completion script will first search for a completion function for the command given on the command line, be it a git command, a custom git command of the user, or an alias, and invoke that function to perform the completion. This has no effect on git commands, because they can not be aliased anyway. If it is an alias and there is a completion function for that alias (e.g. _git_foo() for the alias 'foo'), then it will be invoked to perform completion, allowing users to provide custom completion functions for aliases. If such a completion function can not be found, only then will the completion script check whether the command given on the command line is an alias or not, and proceed as usual (i.e. find out the aliased git command and provide completion for it).

2010-02-24bash: support user-supplied completion scripts for user's git commandsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-55/+12
The bash completion script already provides support to complete aliases, options and refs for aliases (if the alias can be traced back to a supported git command by __git_aliased_command()), and the user's custom git commands, but it does not support the options of the user's custom git commands (of course; how could it know about the options of a custom git command?). Users of such custom git commands could extend git's bash completion script by writing functions to support their commands, but they might have issues with it: they might not have the rights to modify a system-wide git completion script, and they will need to track and merge upstream changes in the future. This patch addresses this by providing means for users to supply custom completion scriplets for their custom git commands without modifying the main git bash completion script. Instead of having a huge hard-coded list of command-completion function pairs (in _git()), the completion script will figure out which completion function to call based on the command's name. That is, when completing the options of 'git foo', the main completion script will check whether the function '_git_foo' is declared, and if declared, it will invoke that function to perform the completion. If such a function is not declared, it will fall back to complete file names. So, users will only need to provide this '_git_foo' completion function in a separate file, source that file, and it will be used the next time they press TAB after 'git foo '. There are two git commands (stage and whatchanged), for which the completion functions of other commands were used, therefore they got their own completion function.

2010-02-24bash: improve aliased command recognitionLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-3/+8
To support completion for aliases, the completion script tries to figure out which git command is invoked by an alias. Its implementation in __git_aliased_command() is rather straightforward: it returns the first word from the alias. For simple aliases starting with the git command (e.g. alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD) this gives the right results. Unfortunately, it does not work with shell command aliases, which can get rather complex, as illustrated by one of Junio's aliases: [alias] lgm = "!sh -c 'GIT_NOTES_REF=refs/notes/amlog git log \"$@\" || :' -" In this case the current implementation returns "!sh" as the aliased git command, which is obviosly wrong. The full parsing of a shell command alias like that in the completion code is clearly unfeasible. However, we can easily improve on aliased command recognition by eleminating stuff that is definitely not a git command: shell commands (anything starting with '!'), command line options (anything starting with '-'), environment variables (anything with a '=' in it), and git itself. This way the above alias would be handled correctly, and the completion script would correctly recognize "log" as the aliased git command. Of course, this solution is not perfect either, and could be fooled easily. It's not hard to construct an alias, in which a word does not match any of these filter patterns, but is still not a git command (e.g. by setting an environment variable to a value which contains spaces). It may even return false positives, when the output of a git command is piped into an other git command, and the second gets the command line options via $@, but options for the first one are offered. However, the following patches will enable the user to supply custom completion scripts for aliases, which can be used to remedy these problematic cases.
