2012-06-19completion: respect $GIT_DIRLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+9
The __gitdir() helper function finds out the path of the git repository by running 'git rev-parse --git-dir'. However, it has a shortcut first to avoid the overhead of running a git command in a subshell when the current directory is at the top of the work tree, i.e. when it contains a '.git' subdirectory. If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies the path to the git repository, and the autodetection of the '.git' directory is not necessary. However, $GIT_DIR is only taken into acocunt by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', and the check for the '.git' subdirectory is performed first, so it wins over the path given in $GIT_DIR. There are several completion (helper) functions that depend on __gitdir(), and when the above case triggers the completion script will do weird things, like offering refs, aliases, or stashes from a different repository, or displaying wrong or broken prompt, etc. So check first whether $GIT_DIR is set, and only proceed with checking the '.git' directory in the current directory if it isn't. 'git rev-parse' would also check whether the path in $GIT_DIR is a proper '.git' directory, i.e. 'HEAD', 'refs/', and 'objects/' are present and accessible, but we don't have to be that thorough for the bash prompt. And we've lived with an equally permissive check for '.git' in the current working directory for years anyway.

2012-05-22completion: split __git_ps1 into a separate scriptLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-1/+1
bash-completion 1.90 shipped with support to load completions dynamically[1], which means the git completion script wouldn't be loaded until the user types 'git <tab>'--this creates a problem to people using __git_ps1(); that function won't be available when the shell is first created. For now distributions have workarounded this issue by moving the git completion to the "compatdir"[2]; this of course is not ideal. The solution, proposed by Kerrick Staley[3], is to split the git script in two; the part that deals with __git_ps1() in one (i.e. git-prompt.sh), and everything else in another (i.e. git-completion.bash). Another benefit of this is that zsh user that are not interested in the bash completion can use it for their prompts, which has been tried before[4]. The only slight issue is that __gitdir() would be duplicated, but this is probably not a big deal. So let's go ahead and move __git_ps1() to a new file. While at this, I took the liberty to reformat the help text in the new file.

2012-05-09tests: add tests for the bash prompt functions in the completion scriptLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+448
The tests cover the discovery of the '.git' directory in the __gitdir() function in different scenarios, and the prompt itself, i.e. branch name, detached heads, operations (rebase, merge, cherry-pick, bisect), and status indicators (dirty, stash, untracked files; but not the upstream status).
