2020-04-01completion: fix 'git add' on paths under an untracked directoryLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+5
As reported on the git mailing list, since git-2.25, git add untracked-dir/ has been tab completing to git add untracked-dir/./ The cause for this was that with commit b9670c1f5e (dir: fix checks on common prefix directory, 2019-12-19), git ls-files -o --directory untracked-dir/ (or the equivalent `git -C untracked-dir ls-files -o --directory`) began reporting untracked-dir/ instead of listing paths underneath that directory. It may also be worth noting that the real command in question was git -C untracked-dir ls-files -o --directory '*' which is equivalent to git ls-files -o --directory 'untracked-dir/*' which behaves the same for the purposes of this issue (the '*' can match the empty string), but becomes relevant for the proposed fix. At first, based on the report, I decided to try to view this as a regression and tried to find a way to recover the old behavior without breaking other stuff, or at least breaking as little as possible. However, in the end, I couldn't figure out a way to do it that wouldn't just cause lots more problems than it solved. The old behavior was a bug: * Although older git would avoid cleaning anything with `git clean -f .git`, it would wipe out everything under that direcotry with `git clean -f .git/`. Despite the difference in command used, this is relevant because the exact same change that fixed clean changed the behavior of ls-files. * Older git would report different results based solely on presence or absence of a trailing slash for $SUBDIR in the command `git ls-files -o --directory $SUBDIR`. * Older git violated the documented behavior of not recursing into directories that matched the pathspec when --directory was specified. * And, after all, commit b9670c1f5e (dir: fix checks on common prefix directory, 2019-12-19) didn't overlook this issue; it explicitly stated that the behavior of the command was being changed to bring it inline with the docs. (Also, if it helps, despite that commit being merged during the 2.25 series, this bug was not reported during the 2.25 cycle, nor even during most of the 2.26 cycle -- it was reported a day before 2.26 was released. So the impact of the change is at least somewhat small.) Instead of relying on a bug of ls-files in reporting the wrong content, change the invocation of ls-files used by git-completion to make it grab paths one depth deeper. Do this by changing '$DIR/*' (match $DIR/ plus 0 or more characters) into '$DIR/?*' (match $DIR/ plus 1 or more characters). Note that the '?' character should not be added when trying to complete a filename (e.g. 'git ls-files -o --directory "merge.c?*"' would not correctly return "merge.c" when such a file exists), so we have to make sure to add the '?' character only in cases where the path specified so far is a directory.

Such use case it not really expected. 2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file. `you must specify path(s) to restore` block was moved down to be able to test for `pathspec.nr` instead, because testing for `argc` is no longer correct. `git switch` does not support the new options because it doesn't expect `<pathspec>` arguments.

2019-08-13completion: complete config variables and values for 'git clone --config='Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+21
Completing configuration sections and variable names for the stuck argument of 'git clone --config=<TAB>' requires a bit of extra care compared to doing the same for the unstuck argument of 'git clone --config <TAB>', because we have to deal with that '--config=' being part of the current word to be completed. Add an option to the __git_complete_config_variable_name_and_value() and in turn to the __git_complete_config_variable_name() helper functions to specify the current section/variable name to be completed, so they can be used even when completing the stuck argument of '--config='. __git_complete_config_variable_value() already has such an option, and thus no further changes were necessary to complete possible values after 'git clone --config=section.name=<TAB>'.

'git config' expects a configuration variable's name and value in separate options, so we complete values as they stand on their own on the command line. 'git -c', however, expects them in a single option joined by a '=' character, so we should be able to complete values when they are following 'section.name=' in the same word. Add new options to the __git_complete_config_variable_value() function to allow callers to specify the current word to be completed and the configuration variable whose value is to be completed, and use these to complete possible values after 'git -c 'section.name=<TAB>'.

2019-08-13completion: complete configuration sections and variable names for 'git -c'Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+14
'git config' expects a configuration variable's name and value in separate arguments, so we let the __gitcomp() helper append a space character to each variable name by default, like we do for most other things (--options, refs, paths, etc.). 'git -c', however, expects them in a single option joined by a '=' character, i.e. 'section.name=value', so we should append a '=' character to each fully completed variable name, but no space, so the user can continue typing the value right away. Add an option to the __git_complete_config_variable_name() function to allow callers to specify an alternate suffix to add, and use it to append that '=' character to configuration variables. Update the __gitcomp() helper function to not append a trailing space to any completion words ending with a '=', not just to those option with a stuck argument.

2019-08-13completion: deduplicate configuration sectionsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
The number of configuration variables listed by the completion script grew quite when we started to auto-generate it from the documentation [1], so we now complete them in two steps: first we list only the section names, then the rest [2]. To get the section names we simply strip everything following the first dot in each variable name, resulting in a lot of repeated section names, because most sections contain more than one configuration variable. This is not a correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion facilities remove all repetitions anyway, but these repetitions make testing a bit harder. Replace the small 'sed' script removing subsections and variable names with an 'awk' script that does the same, and in addition removes any repeated configuration sections as well (by first creating and filling an associative array indexed by all encountered configuration sections, and then iterating over this array and printing the indices, i.e. the unique section names). This change makes the failing 'git config - section' test in 't9902-completion.sh' pass. Note that this changes the order of section names in the output, and makes it downright undeterministic, but this is not an issue, because Bash sorts them before presenting them to the user, and our completion tests sort them as well before comparing with the expected output. Yeah, it would be simpler and shorter to just append '| sort -u' to that command, but that would incur the overhead of one more external process and pipeline stage every time a user completes configuration sections.

2019-08-13completion: add tests for 'git config' completionLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+21
The next patches will change/refactor the way we complete configuration variable names and values, so add a few tests to cover the basics, namely the completion of matching configuration sections, full variable names, and their values. Note that the test checking the completion of configuration sections is currently failing, though it's not a sign of an actual bug. If a section contains multiple variables, then that section is currently repeated as many times as the number of variables in there. This is not a correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion facilities remove all repetitions anyway. Consequently, we could list all those repeated sections in the expected output of this test as well, but then it would have to be updated whenever a new configuration variable is added to those sections. Instead, list each matching configuration section only once, mark the test as failing for now, and the next patch will update the completion script to avoid those repetitions.

2019-06-21tests: make GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON a booleanLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Change the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON variable from being "non-empty?" to being a more standard boolean variable. Since it needed to be checked in both C code and shellscript (via test -n) it was one of the remaining shellscript-like variables. Now that we have "env--helper" we can change that. There's a couple of tricky edge cases that arise because we're using git_env_bool() early, and the config-reading "env--helper". If GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON is set to an invalid value die_bad_number() will die, but to do so it would usually call gettext(). Let's detect the special case of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON and always emit that message in the C locale, lest we infinitely loop. As seen in the updated tests in t0017-env-helper.sh there's also a caveat related to "env--helper" needing to read the config for trace2 purposes. Since the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT prerequisite is lazy and relies on "env--helper" we could get invalid results if we failed to read the config (e.g. because we'd loop on includes) when combined with e.g. "test_i18ngrep" wanting to check with "env--helper" if GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON was true or not. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that a test similar to the one I removed in the earlier "config tests: simplify include cycle test" change in this series won't happen again, and testing for this explicitly in "env--helper"'s own tests. This change breaks existing uses of e.g. GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease, which we've documented in po/README and other places. As noted in [1] we might want to consider also accepting "YesPlease" in "env--helper" as a special-case. But as the lack of uproar over 6cdccfce1e ("i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option", 2018-11-08) demonstrates the audience for this option is a really narrow set of git developers, who shouldn't have much trouble modifying their test scripts, so I think it's better to deal with that minor headache now and make all the relevant GIT_TEST_* variables boolean in the same way than carry the "YesPlease" special-case forward. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqtvckm3h8.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-01-08checkout: introduce --{,no-}overlay optionLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+1
Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which means that if in 'git checkout <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' we have an entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in <tree-ish>, that entry will not be removed from the index or the working tree. Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>. Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow 'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way. Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/' doesn't delete all untracked files in dir/, but rather just resets the state of files that are known to git.

2019-01-03completion: treat results of git ls-tree as file pathsLibravatar Chayoung You1-5/+5
Let's say there are files named 'foo bar.txt', and 'abc def/test.txt' in repository. When following commands trigger a completion: git show HEAD:fo<Tab> git show HEAD:ab<Tab> The completion results in bash/zsh: git show HEAD:foo bar.txt git show HEAD:abc def/ Where the both of them have an unescaped space in paths, so they'll be misread by git. All entries of git ls-tree either a filename or a directory, so __gitcomp_file() is proper rather than __gitcomp_nl(). Note the commit f12785a3, which handles quoted paths properly. Like this case, we should dequote $cur_ for ?*:* case. For example, let's say there is untracked directory 'abc deg', then trigger a completion: git show HEAD:abc\ de<Tab> git show HEAD:'abc de<Tab> git show HEAD:"abc de<Tab> should uniquely complete 'abc def', but bash completes 'abc def' and 'abc deg' instead. In zsh, triggering a completion: git show HEAD:abc\ def/<Tab> should complete 'test.txt', but nothing comes. The both problems will be resolved by dequoting paths. __git_complete_revlist_file() passes arguments to __gitcomp_nl() where the first one is a list something like: abc def/Z foo bar.txt Z where Z is the mark of the EOL. - The trailing space of blob in __git ls-tree | sed. It makes the completion results become: git show HEAD:foo\ bar.txt\ <CURSOR> So git will try to find a file named 'foo bar.txt ' instead. - The trailing slash of tree in __git ls-tree | sed. It makes the completion results on zsh become: git show HEAD:abc\ def/ <CURSOR> So that the last space on command like should be removed on zsh to complete filenames under 'abc def/'.

2018-11-20tests: send "bug in the test script" errors to the script's stderrLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked properly with conditions like this: test "$#" = 2 || error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success" If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away. However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted completely silently, namely if: - a similar condition in a test helper function like 'test_line_count' is triggered, - which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2], - and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3] - and without the '--verbose' option, because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file. The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself. Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such 'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to 'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function instead. [1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose'; with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless. [2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then 'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way, indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong. [3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual noticable error messages. [4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g. 'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's better to be consistent.

2018-11-14checkout: disambiguate dwim tracking branches and local filesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the conditions to turn git checkout frotz to git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz" file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2] and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3]. We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple "right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide. Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate: - "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo" - "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4] For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just fail. But it could be used by scripts.

When I added GETTEXT_POISON in bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) I was concerned with ensuring that the _() function would get constant folded if NO_GETTEXT was defined, and likewise that GETTEXT_POISON would be compiled out unless it was defined. But as the benchmark in my [1] shows doing a one-off runtime getenv("GIT_TEST_[...]") is trivial, and since GETTEXT_POISON was originally added the GIT_TEST_* env variables have become the common idiom for turning on special test setups. So change GETTEXT_POISON to work the same way. Now the GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time option is gone, and running the tests with GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=[YesPlease|] can be toggled on/off without recompiling. This allows for conditionally amending tests to test with/without poison, similar to what 859fdc0c3c ("commit-graph: define GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH", 2018-08-29) did for GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Do some of that, now we e.g. always run the t0205-gettext-poison.sh test. I did enough there to remove the GETTEXT_POISON prerequisite, but its inverse C_LOCALE_OUTPUT is still around, and surely some tests using it can be converted to e.g. always set GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=. Notes on the implementation: * We still compile a dedicated GETTEXT_POISON build in Travis CI. Perhaps this should be revisited and integrated into the "linux-gcc" build, see ae59a4e44f ("travis: run tests with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX", 2018-01-07) for prior art in that area. Then again maybe not, see [2]. * We now skip a test in t0000-basic.sh under GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease that wasn't skipped before. This test relies on C locale output, but due to an edge case in how the previous implementation of GETTEXT_POISON worked (reading it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS) wasn't enabling poison correctly. Now it does, and needs to be skipped. * The getenv() function is not reentrant, so out of paranoia about code of the form: printf(_("%s"), getenv("some-env")); call use_gettext_poison() in our early setup in git_setup_gettext() so we populate the "poison_requested" variable in a codepath that's won't suffer from that race condition. * We error out in the Makefile if you're still saying GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease to prompt users to change their invocation. * We should not print out poisoned messages during the test initialization itself to keep it more readable, so the test library hides the variable if set in $GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON_ORIG during setup. See [3]. See also [4] for more on the motivation behind this patch, and the history of the GETTEXT_POISON facility. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/871s8gd32p.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ 2. https://public-inbox.org/git/20181102163725.GY30222@szeder.dev/ 3. https://public-inbox.org/git/20181022202241.18629-2-szeder.dev@gmail.com/ 4. https://public-inbox.org/git/878t2pd6yu.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-06t: factor out FUNNYNAMES as shared lazy prereqLibravatar William Chargin1-3/+3
A fair number of tests need to check that the filesystem supports file names including "funny" characters, like newline, tab, and double-quote. Jonathan Nieder suggested that this be extracted into a lazy prereq in the top-level `test-lib.sh`. This patch effects that change. The FUNNYNAMES prereq now uniformly requires support for newlines, tabs, and double-quotes in filenames. This very slightly decreases the power of some tests, which might have run previously on a system that supports (e.g.) newlines and tabs but not double-quotes, but now will not. This seems to me like an acceptable tradeoff for consistency. One test (`t/t9902-completion.sh`) defined FUNNYNAMES to further require the separators \034 through \037, the test for which was implemented using the Bash-specific $'\034' syntax. I've elected to leave this one as is, renaming it to FUNNIERNAMES. After this patch, `git grep 'test_\(set\|lazy\)_prereq.*FUNNYNAMES'` has only one result.

Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various pieces of data required for command line completion, the codebase has been taught to enumerate options prefixed with "--no-" to negate them. * nd/completion-negation: completion: collapse extra --no-.. options completion: suppress some -no- options parse-options: option to let --git-completion-helper show negative form
2018-06-11completion: collapse extra --no-.. optionsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-11/+38
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.

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>

Tests t9902-completion.sh and t9903-bash-prompt.sh each have tests that check what happens when we are "in the '.git' directory" and when we are "deep inside the '.git' directory". To test the case when we are "deep inside the '.git' directory" the test scripts used to perform a `cd .git/refs/heads`. As there are plans to implement other ref storage systems, let's use '.git/objects' instead of '.git/refs/heads' as the "deep inside the '.git' directory" path. This makes it clear to readers that these tests do not depend on which ref backend is used. The internals of the loose refs backend are still tested in t1400-update-ref.sh.

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.

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.

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>
2018-04-17completion: improve handling quoted paths in 'git ls-files's outputLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-2/+15
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.

2018-04-17t9902-completion: ignore COMPREPLY element order in some testsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-2/+4
The order or possible completion words in the COMPREPLY array doesn't actually matter, as long as all the right words are in there, because Bash will sort them anyway. Yet, our tests looking at the elements of COMPREPLY always expect them to be in a specific order. Now, this hasn't been an issue before, but the next patch is about to optimize a bit more our git-aware path completion, and as a harmless side effect the order of elements in COMPREPLY will change. Worse, the order will be downright undefined, because after the next patch path components will come directly from iterating through an associative array in 'awk', and the order of iteration over the elements in those arrays is undefined, and indeed different 'awk' implementations produce different order. Consequently, we can't get away with simply adjusting the expected results in the affected tests. Modify the 'test_completion' helper function to sort both the expected and the actual results, i.e. the elements in COMPREPLY, before comparing them, so the tests using this helper function will work regardless of the order of elements. Note that this change still leaves a bunch of tests depending on the order of elements in COMPREPLY, tests that focus on a specific helper function and therefore don't use the 'test_completion' helper. I would rather deal with those later, when (if ever) the need actually arises, than create unnecessary code churn now.

2018-04-17completion: let 'ls-files' and 'diff-index' filter matching pathsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+1
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 Gábor1-2/+44
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 Gábor1-1/+1
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.
