cf4cac4cfc git-prompt.sh: add missing information in comments
Mention that the command below is needed for prompt
in ZSH with PS1:
  setopt PROMPT_SUBST

Rephrase some parts that mention only the "current branch name"
being displayed in the prompt. Replace it by stating that
the "repository status" is displayed.

Make it clear that colored prompt is only available
in PROMPT_COMMAND/precmd mode.

7fe9031920 git-prompt.sh: refactor colored prompt code
__git_ps1_colorize_gitstring() sets color codes and
builds the prompt gitstring. It has duplicated code
to handle color codes for bash and zsh shells.
__git_ps1() also has duplicated logic to build the
prompt gitstring.

Remove duplication of logic to build gitstring in
__git_ps1_colorize_gitstring() and __git_ps1().

Leave in __git_ps1_colorize_gitstring() only logic
to set color codes.

a694258457 bash prompt: mention that PROMPT_COMMAND mode is faster
__git_ps1() is usually added to the prompt inside a command
substitution, imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell.  Using
__git_ps1() for $PROMPT_COMMAND is slightly faster, because it avoids
that command substitution.

Mention this in the comments about setting up the git prompt.

The whole series speeds up the bash prompt on Windows/MSysGit
considerably.  Here are some timing results in three scenarios, each
repeated 10 times:

At the top of the work tree, before:

    $ time for i in {0..9} ; do prompt="$(__git_ps1)" ; done

    real    0m1.716s
    user    0m0.301s
    sys     0m0.772s

  After:

    real    0m0.687s
    user    0m0.075s
    sys     0m0.396s

  After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

    $ time for i in {0..9} ; do __git_ps1 '\h:\w' '$ ' ; done

    real    0m0.546s
    user    0m0.075s
    sys     0m0.181s

At the top of the work tree, detached head, before:

    real    0m2.574s
    user    0m0.376s
    sys     0m1.207s

  After:

    real    0m1.139s
    user    0m0.151s
    sys     0m0.500s

  After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

    real    0m1.030s
    user    0m0.245s
    sys     0m0.336s

In a subdirectory, during rebase, stash status indicator enabled,
before:

    real    0m3.557s
    user    0m0.495s
    sys     0m1.767s

  After:

    real    0m0.717s
    user    0m0.120s
    sys     0m0.300s

  After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

    real    0m0.577s
    user    0m0.047s
    sys     0m0.258s

On Linux the speedup ratio is comparable to Windows, but overall it
was about an order of magnitude faster to begin with.  The last case
from above, repeated 100 times, before:

    $ time for i in {0..99} ; do prompt="$(__git_ps1)" ; done

    real    0m2.806s
    user    0m0.180s
    sys     0m0.264s

  After:

    real    0m0.857s
    user    0m0.020s
    sys     0m0.028s

69a8141a5d bash prompt: avoid command substitution when finalizing gitstring
Before setting $PS1, __git_ps1() uses a command substitution to
redirect the output from a printf into a variable.  Spare the overhead
of fork()ing a subshell by using 'printf -v <var>' to directly assign
the output to that variable.

zsh's printf doesn't support the '-v <var>' option, so stick with the
command substitution when under zsh.

14d7649748 bash prompt: avoid command substitution when checking for untracked files
When enabled, the bash prompt can indicate the presence of untracked
files with a '%' sign.  __git_ps1() checks for untracked files by running the
'$(git ls-files --others --exclude-standard)' command substitution,
and displays the indicator when there is no output.

Avoid this command substitution by additionally passing
'--error-unmatch *', and checking the command's return value.

dd0b72cbd9 bash prompt: use bash builtins to check stash state
When the environment variable $GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE is set
__git_ps1() checks the presence of stashes by running 'git rev-parse
--verify refs/stash'.  This command not only checks that the
'refs/stash' ref exists but also, well, verifies that it's a valid
ref.

However, we don't need to be that thorough for the bash prompt.  We
can omit that verification and only check whether 'refs/stash' exists
or not.  Since 'git pack-refs' never packs 'refs/stash', it's a matter
of checking the existence of a ref file.  Perform this check using
only bash builtins to spare the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process.

Also run 'git pack-refs --all' in the corresponding test to document
that the prompt script depends on 'git pack-refs' not packing
'refs/stash' and to catch possible breakages should this behavior ever
change.

0f37c12581 bash prompt: use bash builtins to check for unborn branch for dirty state
When the dirty work tree and index status indicator is enabled,
__git_ps1() checks for changes in the index by running 'git diff-index
--cached --quiet HEAD --' and looking at its exit code.  However, that
makes sense only when HEAD points to a valid commit: on an unborn
branch the failure of said command would be caused by the invalid
HEAD, not by changes in the index.  Therefore, __git_ps1() first
checks for a valid HEAD by running 'git rev-parse --quiet --verify
HEAD'.

Since the previous patch we implicitly check HEAD's validity by
running 'git rev-parse ... --short HEAD', making the dirty status
indicator's 'git rev-parse' check redundant.  It's sufficient to check
for non-emptyness of the variable holding the abbreviated commit
object name, thereby sparing the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process.

e3e0b9378b bash prompt: combine 'git rev-parse' for detached head
When describing a detached HEAD according to the $GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE
environment variable fails, __git_ps1() now runs the '$(git rev-parse
--short HEAD)' command substitution to get the abbreviated detached
HEAD commit object name.  This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a
subshell and fork()+exec()ing a git process.

Avoid this overhead by combining this command substitution with the
"main" 'git rev-parse' execution for getting the path to the .git
directory & co.  This means that we'll look for the abbreviated commit
object name even when it's not necessary, because we're on a branch or
the detached HEAD can be described.  It doesn't matter, however,
because once 'git rev-parse' is up and running to fulfill all those
other queries, the additional overhead of looking for the abbreviated
commit object name is not measurable because it's lost in the noise.

There is a caveat, however, when we are on an unborn branch, because
in that case HEAD doesn't point to a valid commit, hence the query for
the abbreviated commit object name fails.  Therefore, '--short HEAD'
must be the last options to 'git rev-parse' in order to get all the
other necessary information for the prompt even on an unborn branch.
Furthermore, in that case, and in that case only, 'git rev-parse'
doesn't output the last line containing the abbreviated commit object
name, obviously, so we have to take care to only parse it if 'git
rev-parse' exited without any error.

Although there are tests already excercising __git_ps1() on unborn
branches, they all do so implicitly.  Add a test that checks this
explicitly.

efaa0c1532 bash prompt: combine 'git rev-parse' executions in the main code path
There are a couple of '$(git rev-parse --<opt>)' command substitutions
in __git_ps1() and three of them are executed in the main code path:

 - the first to get the path to the .git directory ('--git-dir'),
 - the second to check whether we're inside the .git directory
   ('--is-inside-git-dir'),
 - and the last, depending on the results of the second, either
   * to check whether it's a bare repo ('--is-bare-repository'), or
   * to check whether inside a work tree ('--is-inside-work-tree').

Naturally, this imposes the overhead of fork()ing three subshells and
fork()+exec()ing three git commands.

Combine these four 'git rev-parse' queries into a single one and use
bash parameter expansions to parse the combined output, i.e. to
separate the path to the .git directory from the true/false of
'--is-inside-git-dir', etc.  This way we can eliminate two of the
three subshells and git commands.

3a43c4b5bd bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out current branch
__git_ps1() runs the '$(git symbolic-ref HEAD)' command substitution
to find out whether we are on a branch and to find out the name of
that branch.  This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell and
fork()+exec()ing a git process.

Since HEAD is in most cases a single-line file and the symbolic ref
format is quite simple to recognize and parse, read and parse it using
only bash builtins, thereby sparing all that fork()+exec() overhead.
Don't display the git prompt if reading HEAD fails, because a readable
HEAD is required for a git repository.  HEAD can also be a symlink
symbolic ref (due to 'core.preferSymlinkRefs'), so use bash builtins
for reading HEAD only when HEAD is not a symlink.

b91b935f04 bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out rebase state
During an ongoing interactive rebase __git_ps1() finds out the name of
the rebased branch, the total number of patches and the number of the
current patch by executing a '$(cat .git/rebase-merge/<FILE>)' command
substitution for each.  That is not quite the most efficient way to
read single line single word files, because it imposes the overhead of
fork()ing a subshell and fork()+exec()ing 'cat' several times.

Use the 'read' bash builtin instead to avoid those overheads.

511ad15904 bash prompt: run 'git rev-parse --git-dir' directly instead of __gitdir()
__git_ps1() finds out the path to the repository by using the
__gitdir() helper function.  __gitdir() is basically just a wrapper
around 'git rev-parse --git-dir', extended with support for
recognizing a remote repository given as argument, to use the path
given on the command line, and with a few shortcuts to recognize a git
repository in cwd or at $GIT_DIR quickly without actually running 'git
rev-parse'.  However, the former two is only necessary for the
completion script but makes no sense for the bash prompt, while the
latter shortcuts are performance optimizations __git_ps1() can do
without (they just avoid the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process).

Run 'git rev-parse --git-dir' directly in __git_ps1(), because it will
allow this patch series to combine several $(git rev-parse ...)
command substitutions in the main code path, and the overall
performance benefit will far outweigh the loss of those few shortcuts
in __gitdir().  Furthermore, since __gitdir() is not needed anymore
for the prompt, remove it from the prompt script finally eliminating
its duplication between the prompt and completion scripts.  Also
remove the comment from the completion script warning about this code
duplication.

When describing a detached HEAD according to the $GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE

Obviously, this neither respects core.abbrev nor produces a unique
object name.

corresponding test to use non-standard number of hexdigits.

d0583da838 prompt: fix show upstream with svn and zsh
Currently the __git_ps1 git prompt gives the following error with a
repository converted by git-svn, when used with zsh:

   __git_ps1_show_upstream:19: bad pattern: svn_remote[
   __git_ps1_show_upstream:45: bad substitution

To reproduce the problem, the __git_ps1_show_upstream function can be
executed in a repository converted with git-svn.  Both those errors are
triggered by spaces after the '['.

Zsh also doesn't support initializing an array with `local var=(...)`.
This triggers the following error:

   __git_ps1_show_upstream:41: bad pattern: svn_upstream=(commit

Use
   local -a
   var=(...)
instead to make is compatible.

This was introduced by 6d158cba (bash completion: Support "divergence

only.

b71dc3e1a0 bash-prompt.sh: show where rebase is at when stopped
When a rebase stops (e.g. interrupted by a merge conflict), it could
be useful to know how far a rebase has progressed and how many
commits in total this rebase will apply. Teach the __git_ps1()
command to display the number of commits so far applied and the
total number of commits to be applied, like this:

  ((3ec0a6a...)|REBASE 2/5)

In the example above the rebase has stopped at the second commit due to
a merge conflict and there are a total number of five commits to be
applied by this rebase.

This information can be already obtained from the following files which are
being generated during the rebase:

    GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/msgnum (git-rebase--merge.sh)
    GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/end    (git-rebase--merge.sh)
    GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-apply/next   (git-am.sh)
    GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-apply/last   (git-am.sh)

but "rebase -i" does not leave necessary clues.

Implement this feature by doing these three things:

  1) Modify git-rebase--interactive.sh to also create

	GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/msgnum
	GIT_DIR/.git/rebase-merge/end

     files for the number of commits so far applied and the total
     number of commits to be applied.

  2) Modify git-prompt.sh to read and display info from the above
     files.

  3) Update test t9903-bash-prompt.sh to reflect changes introduced
     by this patch.

9b3aaf8bf1 Fix up colored git-prompt
The main point is to match the colors to be more close to the color
output of "git status -sb".

 - the branchname is green, or in red when the HEAD is detached;

 - the flags are either red or green for unstaged/staged and the
   remaining flags get a different color or none at all.

9b7e776c0a show color hints based on state of the git tree
By setting GIT_PS1_SHOW_COLORHINTS when using __git_ps1
as PROMPT_COMMAND, you will get color hints in addition to
a different character (*+% etc.) to indicate the state of
the tree.

1bfc51ac81 Allow __git_ps1 to be used in PROMPT_COMMAND
Changes __git_ps1 to allow its use as PROMPT_COMMAND in bash
in addition to setting PS1 with __git_ps1 in a command substitution.
PROMPT_COMMAND has advantages for using color without running
into prompt-wrapping issues. Only by assigning \[ and \] to PS1
directly can bash know that these and the enclosed zero-width codes in
between don't count in the length of the prompt.

ac3eb1c384 completion: warn people about duplicated function
The __gitdir function is duplicated between completion and prompt
scripts, and these definitions should not diverge; otherwise one of
them can be subtly broken depending on the order the user's shell
dot-sources them.

Leave a note to people who may want to touch one copy to make sure
they update the other one in sync.  Hopefully this line would also
appear in the context of the patch to allow reviewers to notice a
patch that attempts to update only one of them.

af31a456b4 completion: split __git_ps1 into a separate script
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.
