__gitcomp_nl() iterates over all the possible completion words it gets
as argument
- filtering matching words,
- appending a trailing space to each matching word (in all but two
cases),
- prepending a prefix to each matching word (when completing words
after e.g. '--option=<TAB>' or 'master..<TAB>'), and
- adding each matching word to the COMPREPLY array.
This takes a while when a lot of refs are passed to __gitcomp_nl().
The previous changes in this series ensure that __git_refs() lists
only refs matching the current word to be completed, making a second
filtering in __gitcomp_nl() redundant.
Adding the necessary prefix and suffix could be done in __git_refs()
as well:
- When refs come from 'git for-each-ref', then that prefix and
suffix could be added much more efficiently using a 'git
for-each-ref' format containing said prefix and suffix. Care
should be taken, though, because that prefix might contain
'for-each-ref' format specifiers as part of the left hand side of
a '..' range or '...' symmetric difference notation or
fetch/push/etc. refspec, e.g. 'git log "evil-%(refname)..br<TAB>'.
Doubling every '%' in the prefix will prevent 'git for-each-ref'
from interpolating any of those contained specifiers.
- When refs come from 'git ls-remote', then that prefix and suffix
can be added in the shell loop that has to process 'git
ls-remote's output anyway.
- Finally, the prefix and suffix can be added to that handful of
potentially matching symbolic and pseudo refs right away in the
shell loop listing them.
And then all what is still left to do is to assign a bunch of
newline-separated words to a shell array, which can be done without a
shell loop iterating over each word, basically making all of
__gitcomp_nl() unnecessary for refs completion.
Add the helper function __gitcomp_direct() to fill the COMPREPLY array
with prefiltered and preprocessed words without any additional
processing, without a shell loop, with just one single compound
assignment. Modify __git_refs() to accept prefix and suffix
parameters and add them to each and every listed ref as described
above. Modify __git_complete_refs() to pass the prefix and suffix
parameters to __git_refs() and to feed __git_refs()'s output to
__gitcomp_direct() instead of __gitcomp_nl().
This speeds up refs completion when there are a lot of refs matching
the current word to be completed. Listing all branches for completion
in a repo with 100k local branches, all packed, best of five:

Some commands need the first word to determine the actual action that is
being executed, however, the command is wrong when we use an alias, for
example 'alias.p=push', if we try to complete 'git p origin ', the
result would be wrong because __git_complete_remote_or_refspec() doesn't
know where it came from.
So let's override words[1], so the alias 'p' is override by the actual
command, 'push'.

There are situations where multiple classes of completions possible. For
example
branch.<TAB>
should try to complete
branch.master.
branch.autosetupmerge
branch.autosetuprebase
The first candidate has the suffix ".", and the second/ third candidates
have the suffix " ". To facilitate completions of this kind, create a
variation of __gitcomp_nl () that appends to the existing list of
completion candidates, COMPREPLY.

If zsh completion is being read from a location that is different from
system-wide default, it is likely that the user is trying to use a
custom version, perhaps closer to the bleeding edge, installed in her
own directory. We will more likely to find the matching bash completion
script in the same directory than in those system default places.

zsh is smart enough to add the right suffix while completing, there's no

So that we can have a nice zsh completion output:
% git <tab>
add -- add file contents to the index
bisect -- find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
branch -- list, create, or delete branches
checkout -- checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
clone -- clone a repository into a new directory
commit -- record changes to the repository
diff -- show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
fetch -- download objects and refs from another repository
grep -- print lines matching a pattern
init -- create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one
log -- show commit logs
merge -- join two or more development histories together
mv -- move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
pull -- fetch from and merge with another repository or a local branch
push -- update remote refs along with associated objects
rebase -- forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head
reset -- reset current HEAD to the specified state
rm -- remove files from the working tree and from the index
show -- show various types of objects
status -- show the working tree status
tag -- create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG
And other niceties, like 'git --git-dir=<tab>' showing only directories.
For the rest, the bash completion stuff is still used.
Also, add my copyright, since this more than a thin wrapper.

There should be no functional changes.
The only reason I wrapped this code around a sub-function is because zsh
did the same in it's bashcompinit script in order to declare the special
variable 'words' as hidden, but only in this context.
There's no need for that any more since we access __git_main directly,
so 'words' is not modified, so there's no need for the sub-function.
In zsh mode the array indexes are different though.

Commit fea16b47b6 (Fri Jan 11 19:48:43 2013, Manlio Perillo,
git-completion.bash: add support for path completion), introduced a new
__gitcomp_file function that uses the bash builtin "compgen". The
function was redefined for ZSH in the deprecated section of
git-completion.bash, but not in the new git-completion.zsh script.
As a result, users of git-completion.zsh trying to complete "git add
fo<tab>" get an error:
git add fo__gitcomp_file:8: command not found: compgen
This patch adds the redefinition and removes the error.

It seems there's always issues with zsh's bash completion emulation.
I've tried to fix as many as I could[1], and most of the fixes are already
in the latest version of zsh, but still, there are issues.
There is no point going through all that pain; the emulation is easy to
achieve, and this patch works better than zsh's bash completion
emulation.
