The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392
details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with
CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated
from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it.
Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when
a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the
new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null".
The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by
email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly
introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The
keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance
and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a
repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings.
The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding.
This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes
received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match
for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository.
The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable
patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This
is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end
of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too,
which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside
a MUA, but really just works.
The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late
80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses
to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit"
will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing.

We have had "git -C $there" to first go to a different directory
and run a Git command without changing the arguments for quite some
time. Use it instead of (cd $there && git ...) in the completion
script.
This allows us to lose the work-around for misfeatures of modern
interactive-minded shells that make "cd" unusable in scripts (e.g.
end users' $CDPATH taking us to unexpected places in any POSIX
shell, and chpwd functions spewing unwanted output in zsh).
Based on Øystein Walle's idea, which was raised during the
discussion on the solution by Brandon Turner for a problem zsh users
had with RVM which mucks with chpwd_functions in users' environments
(https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3076).
As $root variable, which is used to direct where to chdir to, is set
to "." based on if $2 to __git_index_files is set (not if it is empty),
the only caller of the function is fixed not to pass the optional $2
when it does not want us to switch to a different directory. Otherwise
we would end up doing "git -C '' command...", which would not work.
Maybe we would want "git -C '' command..." to mean "do not chdir
anywhere", but that is a spearate topic.

'!f() { ... }; f' and "!sh -c '....' -" are recommended patterns for
declaring more complex aliases (see git wiki [1]). This commit teaches
the completion to handle them.
When determining which completion to use for an alias, an opening brace
or single quote is now skipped, and the search for a git command is
continued. For example, the aliases '!f() { git commit ... }' or "!sh
-c 'git commit ...'" now trigger commit completion. Previously, the
search stopped on the opening brace or quote, and the completion tried
it to determine how to complete, which obviously was useless.
The null command ':' is now skipped, so that it can be used as
a workaround to declare the desired completion style.
For example, the aliases
!f() { : git commit ; if ... } f
!sh -c ': git commit; if ...' -
now trigger commit completion.
Shell function declarations now work with or without space before
the parens, i.e. '!f() ...' and '!f () ...' both work.

* jn/scripts-updates:
remove #!interpreter line from shell libraries
test: replace shebangs with descriptions in shell libraries
test: make FILEMODE a lazy prereq
contrib: remove git-p4import
mark contributed hooks executable
mark perl test scripts executable
mark Windows build scripts executable
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests

Similar to Bash's default filename completion, our git-aware filename
completion stops at directory boundaries, i.e. it doesn't offer the
full 'path/to/file' at first, but only 'path/'. To achieve that the
completion script runs 'git ls-files' with specific command line
options to get the list of relevant paths under the current directory,
and then processes each path to strip all but the base directory or
filename (see __git_index_files()).
To offer only modified and untracked files for 'git add' the
completion script runs 'git ls-files --exclude-standard --others
--modified'. This command lists all non-ignored files in untracked
directories, which leads to a noticeable delay caused by the
processing mentioned above if there are a lot of such files
(__git_index_files() specifies '--exclude-standard' internally):
$ mkdir untracked-dir
$ for i in {1..10000} ; do >untracked-dir/$i ; done
$ time __git_index_files "--others --modified"
untracked-dir
real 0m0.537s
user 0m0.452s
sys 0m0.160s
Eliminate this delay by additionally passing the '--directory
--no-empty-directory' options to 'git ls-files' to show only the
directory name of non-empty untracked directories instead their whole
content:
$ time __git_index_files "--others --modified --directory --no-empty-directory"
untracked-dir
real 0m0.029s
user 0m0.020s
sys 0m0.004s
Filename completion for 'git clean' suffers from the same delay, as it
offers untracked files, too. The fix could be the same, but since it
actually makes sense to 'git clean' empty directories, in this case we
only pass the '--directory' option to 'git ls-files'.

Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.
Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,

__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.

There still remain two users of __git_complete_file, completions for

There is no point in calling a separate function that is only used
in one place. Especially considering that there's no need to call
compgen, and we traverse the words ourselves both in __gitcompadd,
and __gitcomp_1.
Let's squash the functions together, and traverse only once.
This improves performance. For N number of words:
== 1 ==
original: 0.002s
new: 0.000s

The functionality we use from compgen is not much, we can do the same
manually, with drastic improvements in speed, especially when dealing
with only a few words.
This patch also has the sideffect that brekage reported by Jeroen Meijer
and SZEDER Gábor gets fixed because we no longer expand the resulting
words.
Here are some numbers filtering N amount of words:
== 1 ==
original: 0.002s
new: 0.000s
== 10 ==
original: 0.002s
new: 0.000s
== 100 ==

== 10000 ==
original: 0.056s
new: 0.066s
== 100000 ==
original: 2.669s
new: 0.622s
If the results are not narrowed:
== 1 ==
original: 0.002s
new: 0.000s
== 10 ==
original: 0.002s
new: 0.001s
== 100 ==

original: 0.101s
new: 0.355s
== 100000 ==
original: 2.850s
new: 31.941s
So, unless 'git checkout <tab>' usually gives you more than 10000
results, you'll get an improvement :)
Other possible solutions perform better after 1000 words, but worst if
less than that:
COMPREPLY=($(awk -v cur="$3" -v pre="$2" -v suf="$4"

There was no Porcelain way to say "I no longer am interested in

"submodule init". "submodule deinit" is the way to do so.
* jl/submodule-deinit:
submodule: add 'deinit' command
A recent change added functions whose entire standard error stream
is redirected to /dev/null using a construct that is valid POSIX.1
but is not widely used:
funcname () {
cd "$1" && run some command "$2"
} 2>/dev/null
Even though this file is "git-completion.bash", zsh completion
support dot-sources it (instead of asking bash to grok it like tcsh
completion does), and zsh does not implement this redirection
correctly.
With zsh, trying to complete an inexistant directory gave this:
git add no-such-dir/__git_ls_files_helper💿2: no such file or directory: no-such-dir/
Also these functions use "cd" to first go somewhere else before
running a command, but the location the caller wants them to go that
is given as an argument to them should not be affected by CDPATH
variable the users may have set for their interactive session.
To fix both of these, wrap the body of the function in a subshell,
unset CDPATH at the beginning of the subshell, and redirect the
standard error stream of the subshell to /dev/null.

With "git submodule init" the user is able to tell git he cares about one
or more submodules and wants to have it populated on the next call to "git
submodule update". But currently there is no easy way he could tell git he
does not care about a submodule anymore and wants to get rid of his local
work tree (except he knows a lot about submodule internals and removes the
"submodule.$name.url" setting from .git/config together with the work tree
himself).
Help those users by providing a 'deinit' command. This removes the
whole submodule.<name> section from .git/config (either for the given
submodule(s) or for all those which have been initialized if '.' is used)
together with their work tree. Fail if the current work tree contains
modifications (unless forced), but don't complain when either the work
tree is already removed or no settings are found in .git/config.
Add tests and link the man pages of "git submodule deinit" and "git rm"
to assist the user in deciding whether removing or unregistering the
submodule is the right thing to do for him. Also add the deinit subcommand
to the completion list.

The git-completion.bash script did not implemented full, git aware,
support to complete paths, for git commands that operate on files within
the current working directory or the index.
As an example:
git add <TAB>
will suggest all files in the current working directory, including
ignored files and files that have not been modified.
Support path completion, for git commands where the non-option arguments
always refer to paths within the current working directory or the index,
as follows:
* the path completion for the "git rm" and "git ls-files"
commands will suggest all cached files.
* the path completion for the "git add" command will suggest all
untracked and modified files. Ignored files are excluded.
* the path completion for the "git clean" command will suggest all
untracked files. Ignored files are excluded.
* the path completion for the "git mv" command will suggest all cached
files when expanding the first argument, and all untracked and cached
files for subsequent arguments. In the latter case, empty directories
are included and ignored files are excluded.
* the path completion for the "git commit" command will suggest all
files that have been modified from the HEAD, if HEAD exists, otherwise
it will suggest all cached files.
For all affected commands, completion will always stop at directory
boundary. Only standard ignored files are excluded, using the
--exclude-standard option of the ls-files command.
When using a recent Bash version, Git path completion will be the same
as builtin file completion, e.g.
git add contrib/
will suggest relative file names.

The user can be presented with invalid completion results
when trying to complete a 'git checkout' command. This can happen
when using a branch name prefix that matches multiple remote branches.
For example, if available branches are:
master
remotes/GitHub/maint
remotes/GitHub/master
remotes/origin/maint
remotes/origin/master
When performing completion on 'git checkout ma' the user will be
given the choices:
maint
master
However, 'git checkout maint' will fail in this case, although
completion previously said 'maint' was valid. Furthermore, when
performing completion on 'git checkout mai', no choices will be
suggested. So, the user is first told that the branch name
'maint' is valid, but when trying to complete 'mai' into 'maint',
that completion is no longer valid.
The completion results should never propose 'maint' as a valid
branch name, since 'git checkout' will refuse it.
The reason for this bug is that the uniq program only
works with sorted input. The man page states
"uniq prints the unique lines in a sorted file".
When __git_refs uses the guess heuristic employed by checkout for
tracking branches it wants to consider remote branches but only if
the branch name is unique. To do that, it calls 'uniq -u'. However
the input given to 'uniq -u' is not sorted.
Therefore, in the above example, when dealing with 'git checkout ma',
"__git_refs '' 1" will find the following list:
master
maint
master
maint
master
which, when passed to 'uniq -u' will remain the same. Therefore
'maint' will be wrongly suggested as a valid option.
When dealing with 'git checkout mai', the list will be:
maint
maint
which happens to be sorted and will be emptied by 'uniq -u',
properly ignoring 'maint'.
A solution for preventing the completion script from suggesting
such invalid branch names is to first call 'sort' and then 'uniq -u'.

* No need to hack IFS or words
2) Improved features
* 'git show master' now properly adds a space at the end (IFS bug)
* 'git checkout --conflict=' now properly returns the sub-items

3) Consolidated code

Split a rather heavy-ish "git completion" script out to create a
separate "git prompting" script, to help lazy-autoloading of the
completion part while making prompting part always available.
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.

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.

The main _git() completion function finds out the git command name by
looping through all the words on the command line and searching for

Unfortunately the list of known git options was not updated in a long

Such a misrecognized "command" is then passed to __git_aliased_command(),
which in turn passes it to a 'git config' query, hence the error.

-c --no-pager --exec-path --html-path --man-path --info-path
--no-replace-objects --work-tree= --namespace=
To fix this we could just update the list of options to be skipped,
but the same issue will likely arise, if the git command learns a new
option in the future. Therefore, to make it more future proof against
new options, this patch changes that loop to skip all option-looking
words, i.e. words starting with a dash.
We also have to handle the '-c' option specially, because it takes a
configutation parameter in a separate word, which must be skipped,
too.

"--exec-path" looks to the completion script like an unambiguous
successful completion, but it is wrong to emit a SP after it as if
declaring that we are done with completion; the user could be trying
to do
git --exec-path; # print name of helper directory
or
git --exec-path=/path/to/alternative/helper/dir <subcommand>
so the most helpful thing to do is to leave out the trailing space and
leave it to the operator to type an equal sign or carriage return
according to the situation.
