After using this command extensively for the last two months, this developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still leaves a lot of room for confusion about what was actually changed, the non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard.

2018-06-12completion: correct zsh detection when run from git-completion.zshLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+4
v2.18.0-rc0~90^2 (completion: reduce overhead of clearing cached --options, 2018-04-18) worked around a bug in bash's "set" builtin on MacOS by using compgen instead. It was careful to avoid breaking zsh by guarding this workaround with if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-}} ]] Alas, this interacts poorly with git-completion.zsh's bash emulation: ZSH_VERSION='' . "$script" Correct it by instead using a new GIT_SOURCING_ZSH_COMPLETION shell variable to detect whether git-completion.bash is being sourced from git-completion.zsh. This way, the zsh variant is used both when run from zsh directly and when run via git-completion.zsh. Reproduction recipe: 1. cd git/contrib/completion && cp git-completion.zsh _git 2. Put the following in a new ~/.zshrc file: autoload -U compinit; compinit autoload -U bashcompinit; bashcompinit fpath=(~/src/git/contrib/completion $fpath) 3. Open zsh and "git <TAB>".

2018-06-11completion: collapse extra --no-.. optionsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+23
The commands that make use of --git-completion-helper feature could now produce a lot of --no-xxx options that a command can take. This in many case could nearly double the amount of completable options, using more screen estate and also harder to search for the wanted option. This patch attempts to mitigate that by collapsing extra --no- options, the ones that are added by --git-completion-helper and not in original struct option arrays. The "--no-..." option will be displayed in this case to hint about more options, e.g. > ~/w/git $ git clone -- --bare --origin= --branch= --progress --checkout --quiet --config= --recurse-submodules --depth= --reference= --dissociate --reference-if-able= --filter= --separate-git-dir= --hardlinks --shallow-exclude= --ipv4 --shallow-since= --ipv6 --shallow-submodules --jobs= --shared --local --single-branch --mirror --tags --no-... --template= --no-checkout --upload-pack= --no-hardlinks --verbose --no-tags and when you complete it with --no-<tab>, all negative options will be presented: > ~/w/git $ git clone --no- --no-bare --no-quiet --no-branch --no-recurse-submodules --no-checkout --no-reference --no-config --no-reference-if-able --no-depth --no-separate-git-dir --no-dissociate --no-shallow-exclude --no-filter --no-shallow-since --no-hardlinks --no-shallow-submodules --no-ipv4 --no-shared --no-ipv6 --no-single-branch --no-jobs --no-tags --no-local --no-template --no-mirror --no-upload-pack --no-origin --no-verbose --no-progress Corner case: to make sure that people will never accidentally complete the fake option "--no-..." there must be one real --no- in the first complete listing even if it's not from the original struct option. PS. This could could be made simpler with ";&" to fall through from "--no-*" block and share the code but ";&" is not available on bash-3 (i.e. Mac) Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-05-29completion: complete general config vars in two stepsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+7
There are 581 config variables as of now when you do "git config <tab>" which can fill up a few screens and is not very helpful when you have to look through columns of text to find what you want. This patch instead shows you only first level when you do git config <tab> There are 78 items, which use up 8 rows in my screen. Compared to screens of text, it's pretty good. Once you have chosen you first level, e.g. color: git config color.<tab> will show you all color.* This is not a new idea. branch.* and remote.* completion already does this for second and third levels.

2018-05-21completion: add and use --list-cmds=aliasLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-60/+15
By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In "git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not really count. A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable. There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before "git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a man page for external commands anyway.

2018-05-21completion: let git provide the completable command listLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-91/+28
Instead of maintaining a separate list of command classification, which often could go out of date, let's centralize the information back in git. While the function in git-completion.bash implies "list porcelain commands", that's not exactly what it does. It gets all commands (aka --list-cmds=main,others) then exclude certain non-porcelain ones. We could almost recreate this list two lists list-mainporcelain and others. The non-porcelain-but-included-anyway is added by the third category list-complete. Note that the current completion script incorrectly classifies filter-branch as porcelain and t9902 tests this behavior. We keep it this way in t9902 because this test does not really care which particular command is porcelain or plumbing, they're just names.

This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by category in machine-readable form. This could be helpful later on when completion script switches to use --list-cmds for selecting completable commands. It would be much easier for the user to choose to complete _all_ commands instead of the default selection by passing different values to --list-cmds in git-completino.bash. While at there, replace "git help -a" in git-completion.bash with --list-cmds since it's better suited for this task.

2018-05-21completion: don't return with error from __gitcomp_file_direct()Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-2/+4
In __gitcomp_file_direct() we tell Bash that it should handle our possible completion words as filenames with the following piece of cleverness: # use a hack to enable file mode in bash < 4 compopt -o filenames +o nospace 2>/dev/null || compgen -f /non-existing-dir/ > /dev/null Unfortunately, this makes this function always return with error when it is not invoked in real completion, but e.g. in tests of 't9902-completion.sh': - First the 'compopt' line errors out - either because in Bash v3.x there is no such command, - or because in Bash v4.x it complains about "not currently executing completion function", - then 'compgen' just silently returns with error because of the non-existing directory. Since __gitcomp_file_direct() is now the last command executed in __git_complete_index_file(), that function returns with error as well, which prevents it from being invoked in tests directly as is, and would require extra steps in test to hide its error code. So let's make sure that __gitcomp_file_direct() doesn't return with error, because in the tests coming in the following patch we do want to exercise __git_complete_index_file() directly, __gitcomp_file() contains the same construct, and thus it, too, always returns with error. Update that function accordingly as well. While at it, also remove the space from between the redirection operator and the filename in both functions.

2018-05-07completion: load completion file for external subcommandLibravatar Florian Gamböck1-0/+10
Adding external subcommands to Git is as easy as to put an executable file git-foo into PATH. Packaging such subcommands for a Linux distribution can be achieved by unpacking the executable into /usr/bin of the user's system. Adding system-wide completion scripts for new subcommands, however, can be a bit tricky. Since bash-completion started to use dynamical loading of completion scripts since v1.90 (preview of v2.0), it is no longer sufficient to drop a completion script of a subcommand into the standard completions path, /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, since this script will not be loaded if called as a git subcommand. For example, look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/544722. To give a short summary: The popular git-flow subcommand provides a completion script, which gets installed as /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-flow. If you now type into a Bash shell: git flow <TAB> You will not get any completions, because bash-completion only loads completions for git and git has no idea that git-flow is defined in another file. You have to load this script manually or trigger the dynamic loader with: git-flow <TAB> # Please notice the dash instead of whitespace This will not complete anything either, because it only defines a Bash function, without generating completions. But now the correct completion script has been loaded and the first command can use the completions. So, the goal is now to teach the git completion script to consider the possibility of external completion scripts for subcommands, but of course without breaking current workflows. I think the easiest method is to use a function that was defined by bash-completion v1.90, namely _completion_loader. It will take care of loading the correct script if present. Afterwards, the git completion script behaves as usual. _completion_loader was introduced in commit 20c05b43 of bash-completion (https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.git) back in 2011, so it should be available in even older LTS distributions. This function searches for external completion scripts not only in the default path /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, but also in the user's home directory via $XDG_DATA_HOME and in a user specified directory via $BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR. The only "drawback" (if it even can be called as such) is, that if _completion_loader does not find a completion script, it automatically registers a minimal function for basic path completion. In practice, however, this will not matter, because in this case the given command is a git command in its dashed form, e.g. 'git-diff-index', and those have been deprecated for a long time. This way we can leverage bash-completion's dynamic loading for git subcommands and make it easier for developers to distribute custom completion scripts.

2018-04-26rebase: introduce the --rebase-merges optionLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Once upon a time, this here developer thought: wouldn't it be nice if, say, Git for Windows' patches on top of core Git could be represented as a thicket of branches, and be rebased on top of core Git in order to maintain a cherry-pick'able set of patch series? The original attempt to answer this was: git rebase --preserve-merges. However, that experiment was never intended as an interactive option, and it only piggy-backed on git rebase --interactive because that command's implementation looked already very, very familiar: it was designed by the same person who designed --preserve-merges: yours truly. Some time later, some other developer (I am looking at you, Andreas! ;-)) decided that it would be a good idea to allow --preserve-merges to be combined with --interactive (with caveats!) and the Git maintainer (well, the interim Git maintainer during Junio's absence, that is) agreed, and that is when the glamor of the --preserve-merges design started to fall apart rather quickly and unglamorously. The reason? In --preserve-merges mode, the parents of a merge commit (or for that matter, of *any* commit) were not stated explicitly, but were *implied* by the commit name passed to the `pick` command. This made it impossible, for example, to reorder commits. Not to mention to move commits between branches or, deity forbid, to split topic branches into two. Alas, these shortcomings also prevented that mode (whose original purpose was to serve Git for Windows' needs, with the additional hope that it may be useful to others, too) from serving Git for Windows' needs. Five years later, when it became really untenable to have one unwieldy, big hodge-podge patch series of partly related, partly unrelated patches in Git for Windows that was rebased onto core Git's tags from time to time (earning the undeserved wrath of the developer of the ill-fated git-remote-hg series that first obsoleted Git for Windows' competing approach, only to be abandoned without maintainer later) was really untenable, the "Git garden shears" were born [*1*/*2*]: a script, piggy-backing on top of the interactive rebase, that would first determine the branch topology of the patches to be rebased, create a pseudo todo list for further editing, transform the result into a real todo list (making heavy use of the `exec` command to "implement" the missing todo list commands) and finally recreate the patch series on top of the new base commit. That was in 2013. And it took about three weeks to come up with the design and implement it as an out-of-tree script. Needless to say, the implementation needed quite a few years to stabilize, all the while the design itself proved itself sound. With this patch, the goodness of the Git garden shears comes to `git rebase -i` itself. Passing the `--rebase-merges` option will generate a todo list that can be understood readily, and where it is obvious how to reorder commits.

2018-04-18completion: reduce overhead of clearing cached --optionsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+5
To get the names of all '$__git_builtin_*' variables caching --options of builtin commands in order to unset them, 8b0eaa41f2 (completion: clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script, 2018-03-22) runs a 'set |sed s///' pipeline. This works both in Bash and in ZSH, but has a higher than necessary overhead with the extra processes. In Bash we can do better: run the 'compgen -v __gitcomp_builtin_' builtin command, which lists the same variables, but without a pipeline and 'sed' it can do so with lower overhead. ZSH will still continue to run that pipeline. This change also happens to work around an issue in the default Bash version shipped in macOS (3.2.57), reported by users of the Powerline shell prompt, which was triggered by the same commit 8b0eaa41f2 as well. Powerline uses several Unicode Private Use Area code points to represent some of its pretty text UI elements (arrows and what not), and these are stored in the $PS1 variable. Apparently the 'set' builtin of said Bash version on macOS has issues with these code points, and produces garbled output where Powerline's special symbols should be in the $PS1 variable. This, in turn, triggers the following error message in the downstream 'sed' process: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence Other Bash versions, notably 4.4.19 on macOS via homebrew (i.e. a newer version on the same platform) and 3.2.25 on CentOS (i.e. a slightly earlier version, though on a different platform) are not affected. ZSH in macOS (the versions shipped by default or installed via homebrew) or on other platforms isn't affected either. With this patch neither the 'set' builtin is invoked to print garbage, nor 'sed' to choke on it.

2018-04-17completion: fill COMPREPLY directly when completing pathsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+30
During git-aware path completion, when a lot of path components have to be listed, a significant amount of time is spent in __gitcomp_file(), or more accurately in the shell loop of __gitcompappend(), iterating over all the path components filtering path components matching the current word to be completed, adding prefix path components, and placing the resulting matching paths into the COMPREPLY array. Now, a previous patch in this series made 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' list only paths matching the current word to be completed, so an additional filtering in __gitcomp_file() is not necessary anymore. Adding the prefix path components could be done much more efficiently in __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script while stripping trailing path components and removing duplicates and quoting. And then the resulting paths won't require any more filtering or processing before being handed over to Bash, so we could fill the COMPREPLY array directly. Unfortunately, we can't simply use the __gitcomp_direct() helper function to do that, because __gitcomp_file() does one additional thing: it tells Bash that we are doing filename completion, so the shell will kindly do four important things for us: 1. Append a trailing space to all filenames. 2. Append a trailing '/' to all directory names. 3. Escape any meta, globbing, separator, etc. characters. 4. List only the current path component when listing possible completions (i.e. 'dir/subdir/f<TAB>' will list 'file1', 'file2', etc. instead of the whole 'dir/subdir/file1', 'dir/subdir/file2'). While we could let __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script take care of the first two points, the third one gets tricky, and we absolutely need the shell's support for the fourth. Add the helper function __gitcomp_file_direct(), which, just like __gitcomp_direct(), fills the COMPREPLY array with prefiltered and preprocessed paths without any additional processing, without a shell loop, with just one single compound assignment, and, similar to __gitcomp_file(), tells Bash and ZSH that we are doing filename completion. Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script a bit to prepend any prefix path components to all listed paths. Finally, modify __git_complete_index_file() to feed __git_index_files()'s output to ___gitcomp_file_direct() instead of __gitcomp_file(). After this patch there is no shell loop left in the path completion code path. This speeds up path completion when there are a lot of paths matching the current word to be completed. In a pathological repository with 100k files in a single directory, listing all those files: Before this patch, best of five, using GNU awk on Linux: $ time cur=dir/ __git_complete_index_file real 0m0.983s user 0m1.004s sys 0m0.033s After: real 0m0.313s user 0m0.341s sys 0m0.029s Difference: -68.2% Speedup: 3.1x To see the benefits of the whole patch series, the same command with v2.17.0: real 0m2.736s user 0m2.472s sys 0m0.610s Difference: -88.6% Speedup: 8.7x Note that this patch changes the output of the __git_index_files() helper function by unconditionally prepending the prefix path components to every listed path. This would break users' completion scriptlets that directly run: __gitcomp_file "$(__git_index_files ...)" "$pfx" "$cur_" because that would add the prefix path components once more. However, __git_index_files() is kind of a "helper function of a helper function", and users' completion scriptlets should have been using __git_complete_index_file() for git-aware path completion in the first place, so this is likely doesn't worth worrying about.

2018-04-17completion: improve handling quoted paths in 'git ls-files's outputLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-2/+64
If any pathname contains backslash, double quote, tab, newline, or any control characters, 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' will enclose that pathname in double quotes and escape those special characters using C-style one-character escape sequences or \nnn octal values. This prevents those files from being listed during git-aware path completion, because due to the quoting they will never match the current word to be completed. Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script to remove all that quoting and escaping from unique path components, so even paths containing (almost all) such special characters can be completed. Paths containing newline characters are still an issue, though. We use newlines as separator character when filling the COMPREPLY array, so a path with one or more newline will end up split to two or more elements in COMPREPLY, basically breaking completion. There is nothing we can do about it without a significant performance hit, so let's just ignore such paths for now. As far as paths with newlines are concerned, this isn't any different from the previous behavior, because those paths were always omitted, though in the past they were omitted because due to the quoting they didn't match the current word to be completed. Anyway, Bash's own filename completion (Meta-/) can complete even those paths, if need be. Note: - We don't dequote path components right away as they are coming in, because then we would have to dequote each directory name repeatedly, as many times as it appears in the input, i.e. as many times as the number of listed paths it contains. Instead, we dequote them at the end, as we print unique path components. - Even when a directory name itself does not contain any special characters, it will still be quoted if any of its trailing path components do. If a directory contains paths both with and without special characters, then the name of that directory will appear both quoted and unquoted in the output of 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index'. Consequently, we will add such a directory name to the deduplicating associative array twice: once quoted and once unquoted. This means that we have to be careful after dequoting a directory name, and only print it if we haven't seen the same directory name unquoted. - It would be wonderful if we could just pass '-z' to those git commands to output \0-separated unquoted paths, and use \0 as record separator in the 'awk' script processing their output... this patch would be so much simpler, almost trivial even. Unfortunately, however, POSIX and most 'awk' implementations don't support \0 as record separator (GNU awk does support it). - This patch makes the earlier change to list paths with 'core.quotePath=false' basically redundant, because this could decode any \nnn-escaped non-ASCII character just fine, as well. However, I suspect that 'git ls-files' can deal with those non-ASCII characters faster than this updated 'awk' script; just in case someone is burdened with tons of pathnames containing non-ASCII characters.

2018-04-17completion: remove repeated dirnames with 'awk' during path completionLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-2/+6
During git-aware path completion, after all the trailing path components have been removed from the output of 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' (see previous patch), each directory name is repeated as many times as the number of listed paths it contains. This can be a lot of repetitions, especially when invoking path completion close to the root of a big worktree, which would cause a considerable overhead downstream of __git_index_files(), in particular in the shell loop that fills the COMPREPLY array. To reduce this overhead, __git_index_files() runs the classic '... |sort |uniq' pattern to remove those repetitions from the function's output. While removing repeated directory names is effective in reducing the number of iterations in that shell loop, it still imposes the overhead of fork()+exec()ing two external processes, and two additional stages in the pipeline, where potentially relatively large amount of data can be passed between two subsequent pipeline stages. Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script to remove repeated path components by first creating and filling an associative array indexed by all encountered path components (after the trailing path components have been removed), and then iterating over this array and printing the indices, i.e. unique path components. This way we can remove the '|sort |uniq' pipeline stages, and their eliminated overhead results in faster path completion. Listing all tracked files (12) and directories (23) at the top of the worktree in linux.git (over 62k files), i.e. what's doing all the hard work behind 'git rm <TAB>': Before this patch, best of five, using GNU awk on Linux: real 0m0.069s user 0m0.089s sys 0m0.026s After: real 0m0.052s user 0m0.072s sys 0m0.014s Difference: -24.6% Note that this changes order of elements in __git_index_files()'s output. This is not an issue, because this function was only ever intended to feed paths into the COMPREPLY array, and Bash will sort its elements (according to the users locale) anyway. Note also that using 'awk' to remove repeated path components is also beneficial for the performance of the next two patches: - The first will extend this 'awk' script to dequote quoted paths in the output of 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index'. With this patch it will only have to dequote unique path components, not all. - The second will, among other things, extend this 'awk' script to prepend prefix path components from the command line to the currently completed path component. Consequently, each line in 'awk's output will grow longer. Without this patch that '|sort |uniq' would have to exchange and process that much more data.

2018-04-17completion: use 'awk' to strip trailing path componentsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-7/+4
During git-aware path completion we complete one path component at a time, i.e. 'git add <TAB>' offers only 'dir/' at first, not 'dir/subdir/file' right away, just like Bash's own filename completion. However, since both 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' dive deep into subdirectories, we have to strip all trailing path components from the listed paths, keeping only the leading path component. This stripping is currently done in a shell loop in __git_index_files(), which can take a significant amount of time when it has to iterate through a large number of paths. Replace this shell loop with a little 'awk' script using '/' as input field separator and printing the first field, which produces the same output much faster. Listing all tracked files (12) and directories (23) at the top of the worktree in linux.git (over 62k files), i.e. what's doing all the hard work behind 'git rm <TAB>': Before this patch, best of five, using GNU awk on Linux: $ time cur= __git_complete_index_file real 0m2.149s user 0m1.307s sys 0m1.086s After: real 0m0.067s user 0m0.089s sys 0m0.023s Difference: -96.9% Speedup: 32.1x Note that this could be done with 'sed', or even with 'cut', just as well, but the upcoming patches require 'awk's scriptability. Note also that this change means one more fork()+exec()ed process during path completion, adding more overhead especially on Windows, but a later patch will more than make up for it by eliminating two other processes in the same function.

2018-04-17completion: let 'ls-files' and 'diff-index' filter matching pathsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-5/+6
During git-aware path completion, e.g. 'git rm dir/fil<TAB>', both 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' list all paths in the given 'dir/' matching certain criteria (cached, modified, untracked, etc.) appropriate for the given git command, even paths whose names don't begin with 'fil'. This comes with a considerable performance penalty when the directory in question contains a lot of paths, but the current word can be uniquely completed or when only a handful of those paths match the current word. Reduce the number of iterations in this codepath from the number of paths to the number of matching paths by specifying an appropriate globbing pattern to 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' to list only paths that match the current word to be completed. Note that both commands treat backslashes as escape characters in their file arguments, e.g. to preserve the literal meaning of globbing characters, so we have to double every backslash in the globbing pattern. This is why one of the path completion tests specifically checks the completion of a path containing a literal backslash character (that test still fails, though, because both commands output such paths enclosed in double quotes and the special characters escaped; a later patch in this series will deal with those). This speeds up path completion considerably when there are a lot of non-matching paths to be filtered out.

2018-04-17completion: improve handling quoted paths on the command lineLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+72
Our git-aware path completion doesn't work when it has to complete a word already containing quoted and/or backslash-escaped characters on the command line. The root cause of the issue is that completion functions see all words on the command line verbatim, i.e. including all backslash, single and double quote characters that the shell would eventually remove when executing the finished command. These quoting/escaping characters cause different issues depending on which path component of the word to be completed contains them: - The quoting/escaping is in the prefix path component(s). Let's suppose we have a directory called 'New Dir', containing two untracked files 'file.c' and 'file.o', and we have a gitignore rule ignoring object files. In this case all of these: git add New\ Dir/<TAB> git add "New Dir/<TAB> git add 'New Dir/<TAB> should uniquely complete 'file.c' right away, but Bash offers both 'file.c' and 'file.o' instead. The reason for this behavior is that our completion script uses the prefix directory name like 'git -C "New\ Dir/" ls-files ...", i.e. with the backslash inside double quotes. Git then tries to enter a directory called 'New\ Dir', which (most likely) fails because such a directory doesn't exists. As a result our completion script doesn't list any files, leaves the COMPREPLY array empty, which in turn causes Bash to fall back to its simple filename completion and lists all files in that directory, i.e. both 'file.c' and 'file.o'. - The quoting/escaping is in the path component to be completed. Let's suppose we have two untracked files 'New File.c' and 'New File.o', and we have a gitignore rule ignoring object files. In this case all of these: git add New\ Fi<TAB> git add "New Fi<TAB> git add 'New Fi<TAB> should uniquely complete 'New File.c' right away, but Bash offers both 'New File.c' and 'New File.o' instead. The reason for this behavior is that our completion script uses this 'New\ Fi' or '"New Fi' etc. word to filter matching paths, and of course none of the potential filenames will match because of the included backslash or double quote. The end result is the same as above: the completion script doesn't list any files, Bash falls back to its filename completion, which then lists the matching object file as well. Add the new helper function __git_dequote() [1], which removes (most of[2]) the quoting and escaping from the word it gets as argument. To minimize the overhead of calling this function, store its result in the variable $dequoted_word, supposed to be declared local in the caller; simply printing the result would require a command substitution imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell. Use this function in __git_complete_index_file() to dequote the current word, i.e. the path, to be completed, to avoid the above described quoting-related issues, thereby fixing two of the failing quoted path completion tests. [1] The bash-completion project already has a dequote() function, which I hoped I could borrow to deal with this, but unfortunately it doesn't work quite well for this purpose (perhaps that's why even the bash-completion project only rarely uses it). The main issue is that their dequote() is implemented as: eval printf %s "$1" 2> /dev/null where $1 would contain the word to be completed. While it's a short and sweet one-liner, the use of 'eval' requires that $1 is a syntactically valid string, which is not the case when quoting the path like 'git add "New Dir/<TAB>'. This causes 'eval' to fail, because it can't find the matching closing double quote, and the function returns nothing. The result is totally broken behavior, as if the current word were empty, and the completion script would then list all files from the current directory. This is why one of the quoted path completion tests specifically checks the completion of a path with an opening but without a corresponding closing double quote character. Furthermore, the 'eval' performs all kinds of expansions, which may or may not be desired; I think it's the latter. Finally, using this function would require a command substitution. [2] Bash understands the $'string' quoting as well, which "expands to 'string', with backslash-escaped characters replaced as specified by the ANSI C standard" (quoted from Bash manpage). Since shell metacharacters, field separators, globbing, etc. can all be easily entered using standard shell escaping or quoting, this type of quoting comes in handly when dealing with control characters that are otherwise difficult both to "type" and to see on the command line. Because of this difficulty I would assume that people do avoid pathnames with such control characters anyway, so I didn't bother implementing it. This function is already way too long as it is.

2018-04-17completion: support completing non-ASCII pathnamesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-2/+4
Unless the user has 'core.quotePath=false' somewhere in the configuration, both 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' will by default quote any pathnames that contain bytes with values higher than 0x80, and escape those bytes as '\nnn' octal values. This prevents completing paths when the current path component to be completed contains any non-ASCII, most notably UTF-8, characters, because none of the listed quoted paths will match the current word on the command line. Set 'core.quotePath=false' for those 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' invocations, so they won't consider bytes higher than 0x80 as "unusual", and won't quote pathnames containing such characters. Note that pathnames containing backslash, double quote, or control characters will still be quoted; a later patch in this series will deal with those.
