The bash completion script already provides support to complete
aliases, options and refs for aliases (if the alias can be traced back
to a supported git command by __git_aliased_command()), and the user's
custom git commands, but it does not support the options of the user's
custom git commands (of course; how could it know about the options of
a custom git command?). Users of such custom git commands could
extend git's bash completion script by writing functions to support
their commands, but they might have issues with it: they might not
have the rights to modify a system-wide git completion script, and
they will need to track and merge upstream changes in the future.
This patch addresses this by providing means for users to supply
custom completion scriplets for their custom git commands without
modifying the main git bash completion script.
Instead of having a huge hard-coded list of command-completion
function pairs (in _git()), the completion script will figure out
which completion function to call based on the command's name. That
is, when completing the options of 'git foo', the main completion
script will check whether the function '_git_foo' is declared, and if
declared, it will invoke that function to perform the completion. If
such a function is not declared, it will fall back to complete file
names. So, users will only need to provide this '_git_foo' completion
function in a separate file, source that file, and it will be used the
next time they press TAB after 'git foo '.
There are two git commands (stage and whatchanged), for which the
completion functions of other commands were used, therefore they
got their own completion function.

To support completion for aliases, the completion script tries to
figure out which git command is invoked by an alias. Its
implementation in __git_aliased_command() is rather straightforward:
it returns the first word from the alias. For simple aliases starting
with the git command (e.g. alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD) this
gives the right results. Unfortunately, it does not work with shell
command aliases, which can get rather complex, as illustrated by one
of Junio's aliases:
[alias]
lgm = "!sh -c 'GIT_NOTES_REF=refs/notes/amlog git log \"$@\" || :' -"
In this case the current implementation returns "!sh" as the aliased
git command, which is obviosly wrong.
The full parsing of a shell command alias like that in the completion
code is clearly unfeasible. However, we can easily improve on aliased
command recognition by eleminating stuff that is definitely not a git
command: shell commands (anything starting with '!'), command line
options (anything starting with '-'), environment variables (anything
with a '=' in it), and git itself. This way the above alias would be
handled correctly, and the completion script would correctly recognize
"log" as the aliased git command.
Of course, this solution is not perfect either, and could be fooled
easily. It's not hard to construct an alias, in which a word does not
match any of these filter patterns, but is still not a git command
(e.g. by setting an environment variable to a value which contains
spaces). It may even return false positives, when the output of a git
command is piped into an other git command, and the second gets the
command line options via $@, but options for the first one are
offered. However, the following patches will enable the user to
supply custom completion scripts for aliases, which can be used to
remedy these problematic cases.

When 921177f (Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch"
examples, 2008-05-07) converted this from enumeration header to displayed

In displayed text, backslash is shown verbatim, while in enumeration
header, we need to double it.
We have a similar construct in git-rm.txt documentation, and need to be
careful when somebody wants to update it to match the style of the "git

The code to guess an output archive's format consumed any --format
options and built a new one. Jonathan noticed that it does so in an
unsafe way, risking to overflow the static buffer fmt_opt.
Change the code to keep the existing --format options intact and to only
add a new one if a format could be guessed based on the output file name.
The new option is added as the first one, allowing the existing ones to
overrule it, i.e. explicit --format options given on the command line win
over format guesses, as before.
To simplify the code further, format_from_name() is changed to return the
full --format option, thus no potentially dangerous sprintf() calls are
needed any more.

This function did not work on strings that were not NUL-terminated. It
reads through a length-bounded string, searching for characters in need of
quoting. After we find one, we output the quoted character, then advance
our pointer to find the next one. However, we never decremented the
length, meaning we ended up looking at whatever random junk was stored
after the string.
This bug was not found by the existing tests because most code paths feed
a NUL-terminated string. The notable exception is a directory name being
fed by ls-tree.

currently cannot determine the system load. We want to make sure that
the max-load-limit codepath produces results cleanly, when gitweb is

The code to check for load returns 0 if it doesn't know how to find
load. It also checks to see if the current load is higher than the
max load. So to force the script to quit early by setting the maxload
variable negative which should work for systems where we can detect
