When 7fb6aefd2a (Merge branch 'nd/parseopt-completion' - 2018-03-14)
is merged, the completion for negative form is left out because the
series is alread long and it could be done in a follow up series. This
is it.
--git-completion-helper now provides --no-xxx so that git-completion.bash
can drop the extra custom --no-xxx in the script. It adds a lot more
--no-xxx than what's current provided by the git-completion.bash
script. We'll trim that down later.

Adding external subcommands to Git is as easy as to put an executable
file git-foo into PATH. Packaging such subcommands for a Linux
distribution can be achieved by unpacking the executable into /usr/bin
of the user's system. Adding system-wide completion scripts for new
subcommands, however, can be a bit tricky.
Since bash-completion started to use dynamical loading of completion
scripts since v1.90 (preview of v2.0), it is no longer sufficient to
drop a completion script of a subcommand into the standard completions
path, /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, since this script will not
be loaded if called as a git subcommand.
For example, look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/544722. To give a short
summary: The popular git-flow subcommand provides a completion script,
which gets installed as /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-flow.
If you now type into a Bash shell:
git flow <TAB>
You will not get any completions, because bash-completion only loads
completions for git and git has no idea that git-flow is defined in
another file. You have to load this script manually or trigger the
dynamic loader with:
git-flow <TAB> # Please notice the dash instead of whitespace
This will not complete anything either, because it only defines a Bash
function, without generating completions. But now the correct completion
script has been loaded and the first command can use the completions.
So, the goal is now to teach the git completion script to consider the
possibility of external completion scripts for subcommands, but of
course without breaking current workflows.
I think the easiest method is to use a function that was defined by
bash-completion v1.90, namely _completion_loader. It will take care of
loading the correct script if present. Afterwards, the git completion
script behaves as usual.
_completion_loader was introduced in commit 20c05b43 of bash-completion
(https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.git) back in 2011, so it should
be available in even older LTS distributions. This function searches for
external completion scripts not only in the default path
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions, but also in the user's home
directory via $XDG_DATA_HOME and in a user specified directory via
$BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR.
The only "drawback" (if it even can be called as such) is, that if
_completion_loader does not find a completion script, it automatically
registers a minimal function for basic path completion. In practice,
however, this will not matter, because in this case the given command is
a git command in its dashed form, e.g. 'git-diff-index', and those have
been deprecated for a long time.
This way we can leverage bash-completion's dynamic loading for git
subcommands and make it easier for developers to distribute custom
completion scripts.

Once upon a time, this here developer thought: wouldn't it be nice if,
say, Git for Windows' patches on top of core Git could be represented as
a thicket of branches, and be rebased on top of core Git in order to
maintain a cherry-pick'able set of patch series?
The original attempt to answer this was: git rebase --preserve-merges.
However, that experiment was never intended as an interactive option,
and it only piggy-backed on git rebase --interactive because that
command's implementation looked already very, very familiar: it was
designed by the same person who designed --preserve-merges: yours truly.
Some time later, some other developer (I am looking at you, Andreas!
;-)) decided that it would be a good idea to allow --preserve-merges to
be combined with --interactive (with caveats!) and the Git maintainer
(well, the interim Git maintainer during Junio's absence, that is)
agreed, and that is when the glamor of the --preserve-merges design
started to fall apart rather quickly and unglamorously.
The reason? In --preserve-merges mode, the parents of a merge commit (or
for that matter, of *any* commit) were not stated explicitly, but were
*implied* by the commit name passed to the `pick` command.
This made it impossible, for example, to reorder commits. Not to mention
to move commits between branches or, deity forbid, to split topic branches
into two.
Alas, these shortcomings also prevented that mode (whose original
purpose was to serve Git for Windows' needs, with the additional hope
that it may be useful to others, too) from serving Git for Windows'
needs.
Five years later, when it became really untenable to have one unwieldy,
big hodge-podge patch series of partly related, partly unrelated patches
in Git for Windows that was rebased onto core Git's tags from time to
time (earning the undeserved wrath of the developer of the ill-fated
git-remote-hg series that first obsoleted Git for Windows' competing
approach, only to be abandoned without maintainer later) was really
untenable, the "Git garden shears" were born [*1*/*2*]: a script,
piggy-backing on top of the interactive rebase, that would first
determine the branch topology of the patches to be rebased, create a
pseudo todo list for further editing, transform the result into a real
todo list (making heavy use of the `exec` command to "implement" the
missing todo list commands) and finally recreate the patch series on
top of the new base commit.
That was in 2013. And it took about three weeks to come up with the
design and implement it as an out-of-tree script. Needless to say, the
implementation needed quite a few years to stabilize, all the while the
design itself proved itself sound.
With this patch, the goodness of the Git garden shears comes to `git
rebase -i` itself. Passing the `--rebase-merges` option will generate
a todo list that can be understood readily, and where it is obvious
how to reorder commits. New branches can be introduced by inserting
`label` commands and calling `merge <label>`. And once this mode will
have become stable and universally accepted, we can deprecate the design
mistake that was `--preserve-merges`.

To get the names of all '$__git_builtin_*' variables caching --options
of builtin commands in order to unset them, 8b0eaa41f2 (completion:
clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script,
2018-03-22) runs a 'set |sed s///' pipeline. This works both in Bash
and in ZSH, but has a higher than necessary overhead with the extra
processes.
In Bash we can do better: run the 'compgen -v __gitcomp_builtin_'
builtin command, which lists the same variables, but without a
pipeline and 'sed' it can do so with lower overhead.
ZSH will still continue to run that pipeline.
This change also happens to work around an issue in the default Bash
version shipped in macOS (3.2.57), reported by users of the Powerline
shell prompt, which was triggered by the same commit 8b0eaa41f2 as
well. Powerline uses several Unicode Private Use Area code points to
represent some of its pretty text UI elements (arrows and what not),
and these are stored in the $PS1 variable. Apparently the 'set'
builtin of said Bash version on macOS has issues with these code
points, and produces garbled output where Powerline's special symbols
should be in the $PS1 variable. This, in turn, triggers the following
error message in the downstream 'sed' process:
sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence
Other Bash versions, notably 4.4.19 on macOS via homebrew (i.e. a
newer version on the same platform) and 3.2.25 on CentOS (i.e. a
slightly earlier version, though on a different platform) are not
affected. ZSH in macOS (the versions shipped by default or installed
via homebrew) or on other platforms isn't affected either.
With this patch neither the 'set' builtin is invoked to print garbage,
nor 'sed' to choke on it.

From the output of ls-files, we remove all but the leftmost path
component and then we eliminate duplicates. We do this in a while loop,
which is a performance bottleneck when the number of iterations is large
(e.g. for 60000 files in linux.git).
$ COMP_WORDS=(git status -- ar) COMP_CWORD=3; time _git
real 0m11.876s
user 0m4.685s
sys 0m6.808s
Replacing the loop with the cut command improves performance
significantly:
$ COMP_WORDS=(git status -- ar) COMP_CWORD=3; time _git
real 0m1.372s
user 0m0.263s
sys 0m0.167s
The measurements were done with Msys2 bash, which is used by Git for
Windows.
When filtering the ls-files output we take care not to touch absolute
paths. This is redundant, because ls-files will never output absolute
paths. Remove the unnecessary operations.

The established way to update the completion script in an already
running shell is to simply source it again: this brings in any new
--options and features, and clears caching variables. E.g. it clears
the variables caching the list of (all|porcelain) git commands, so
when they are later lazy-initialized again, then they will list and
cache any newly installed commmands as well.
Unfortunately, since d401f3debc (git-completion.bash: introduce
__gitcomp_builtin, 2018-02-09) and subsequent patches this doesn't
work for a lot of git commands' options. To eliminate a lot of
hard-to-maintain hard-coded lists of options, those commits changed
the completion script to use a bunch of programmatically created and
lazy-initialized variables to cache the options of those builtin
porcelain commands that use parse-options. These variables are not
cleared upon sourcing the completion script, therefore they continue
caching the old lists of options, even when some commands recently
learned new options or when deprecated options were removed.
Always 'unset' these variables caching the options of builtin commands
when sourcing the completion script.
Redirect 'unset's stderr to /dev/null, because ZSH's 'unset' complains
if it's invoked without any arguments, i.e. no variables caching
builtin's options are set. This can happen, if someone were to source
the completion script twice without completing any --options in
between. Bash stays silent in this case.
Add tests to ensure that these variables are indeed cleared when the
completion script is sourced; not just the variables caching options,
but all other caching variables, i.e. the variables caching commands,
porcelain commands and merge strategies as well.

This command allows to delete a worktree. Like 'move' you cannot
remove the main worktree, or one with submodules inside [1].
For deleting $GIT_WORK_TREE, Untracked files or any staged entries are
considered precious and therefore prevent removal by default. Ignored
files are not precious.
When it comes to deleting $GIT_DIR, there's no "clean" check because
there should not be any valuable data in there, except:
- HEAD reflog. There is nothing we can do about this until somebody
steps up and implements the ref graveyard.
- Detached HEAD. Technically it can still be recovered. Although it
may be nice to warn about orphan commits like 'git checkout' does.
[1] We do 'git status' with --ignore-submodules=all for safety
anyway. But this needs a closer look by submodule people before we
can allow deletion. For example, if a submodule is totally clean,
but its repo not absorbed to the main .git dir, then deleting
worktree also deletes the valuable .submodule repo too.

Add a --prune-tags option to git-fetch, along with fetch.pruneTags
config option and a -P shorthand (-p is --prune). This allows for
doing any of:
git fetch -p -P
git fetch --prune --prune-tags
git fetch -p -P origin
git fetch --prune --prune-tags origin
Or simply:
git config fetch.prune true &&
git config fetch.pruneTags true &&
git fetch
Instead of the much more verbose:
git fetch --prune origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
Before this feature it was painful to support the use-case of pulling
from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted
regularly, and have our local references to reflect upstream.
At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each rollout, and
there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks for
performance reasons.
Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in
/etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with
them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each
repo:
git -C {} config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^\+*refs/tags/\*:refs/tags/\*$"
Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well,
and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning
semantics I want.
Even though "git remote" has corresponding "prune" and "update
--prune" subcommands I'm intentionally not adding a corresponding
prune-tags or "update --prune --prune-tags" mode to that command.
It's advertised (as noted in my recent "git remote doc: correct
dangerous lies about what prune does") as only modifying remote
tracking references, whereas any --prune-tags option is always going
to modify what from the user's perspective is a local copy of the tag,
since there's no such thing as a remote tracking tag.
Ideally add_prune_tags_to_fetch_refspec() would be something that
would use ALLOC_GROW() to grow the 'fetch` member of the 'remote'
struct. Instead I'm realloc-ing remote->fetch and adding the
tag_refspec to the end.
The reason is that parse_{fetch,push}_refspec which allocate the
refspec (ultimately remote->fetch) struct are called many places that
don't have access to a 'remote' struct. It would be hard to change all
their callsites to be amenable to carry around the bookkeeping
variables required for dynamic allocation.
All the other callers of the API first incrementally construct the
string version of the refspec in remote->fetch_refspec via
add_fetch_refspec(), before finally calling parse_fetch_refspec() via
some variation of remote_get().
It's less of a pain to deal with the one special case that needs to
modify already constructed refspecs than to chase down and change all
the other callsites. The API I'm adding is intentionally not
generalized because if we add more of these we'd probably want to
re-visit how this is done.
