At the end of the day what we really need is to find out the files that
have been staged, or modified, because those files are the ones that
make sense to pass as arguments to 'git commit'.
We need diff-index to find those out, since 'git ls-files' doesn't do
that.
But we don't need wrappers and wrappers basically identical to the ones
used for 'git ls-files', when we can pretend it receives a --committable
option that would return what we need.
That way, we can remove a bunch of code without any functional changes.

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.

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 ==

== 10 ==
original: 0.002s
new: 0.000s

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 ==

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:

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

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"

submodule is the right thing to do for him. Also add the deinit subcommand

The "complete with known paths only" update to completion scripts
returns directory names without trailing slash to compensate the
addition of '/' done by bash that reads from our completion result.
tcsh completion code that reads from our internal completion result
does not add '/', so let it ask our complletion code to keep the '/'
at the end.
* mk/tcsh-complete-only-known-paths:
completion: handle path completion and colon for tcsh script
The completion script used to let the default completer to suggest
pathnames, which gave too many irrelevant choices (e.g. "git add"
would not want to add an unmodified path). Teach it to use a more
git-aware logic to enumerate only relevant ones.
* mp/complete-paths:
git-completion.bash: add support for path completion
Recent enhancements to git-completion.bash provide intelligent path
completion for git commands. Such completions do not provide the
'/' at the end of directories for recent versions of bash; instead,
bash itself will add the trailing slash to directories to the result
provided by git-completion.bash. However, the completion for tcsh
uses the result of the bash completion script directly, so it either
needs to add the necessary slash itself, or needs to ask the bash
script to keep the trailing slash.
Adding the slash itself is difficult because we have to check the
each path in the output of the bash script to see if it is meant to
be a directory or something else. For example, assuming there is a
directory named 'commit' in the current directory, then, when
completing
git add commit<tab>
we would need to add a slash, but for
git help commit<tab>
we should not.
Figuring out such differences would require adding much intelligence
to the tcsh completion script. Instead, it is simpler to ask the
bash script to keep the trailing slash. This patch does this.
Also, tcsh does not handle the colon as a completion separator so we
remove it from the list of separators.

expect a certain prefix to uniquely expand to a known completion.

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.

For bash completion, the option '-o bashdefault' is used to indicate
that when no other choices are available, file completion should be
performed. Since this option is not available in tcsh, no file
completion is ever performed. Therefore, commands like 'git add ',
'git send-email ', etc, require the user to manually type out
the file name. This can be quite annoying.
To improve the user experience we try to simulate file completion
directly in this script (although not perfectly).

- Possible completions are shown with their directory prefix.
- Completions containing shell variables are not handled.

tcsh users sometimes alias the 'git' command to another name. In
this case, the user expects to only have to issue a new 'complete'
command using the alias name.
However, the tcsh script currently uses the command typed by the
user to call the appropriate function in git-completion.bash, either
_git() or _gitk(). When using an alias, this technique no longer
works.
This change specifies the real name of the command (either 'git' or
'gitk') as a parameter to the script handling tcsh completion. This
allows the user to use any alias for the 'git' or 'gitk' commands,
while still getting completion to work.

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'.

Zsh's bash completion emulation is buggy, not properly maintained, and
we have some workarounds in place for different bugs that appeared in
various versions.
Since I'm the only one that has worked on that code lately[1], it might make
snese to use the code I wrote specifically for git.
The advantages are:

* No need to hack __get_comp_words_by_ref
* 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
* It's all now in a single chunk, and it's basically the same as

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.

The current tcsh-completion support for Git, as can be found on the
Internet, takes the approach of defining the possible completions
explicitly. This has the obvious draw-back to require constant
updating as the Git code base evolves.
The approach taken by this commit is to to re-use the advanced bash
completion script and use its result for tcsh completion. This is
achieved by sourcing the bash script and outputting the completion
result for tcsh consumption.
Three solutions were looked at to implement this approach with (C)
being retained:
A) Modifications:
git-completion.bash and new git-completion.tcsh
Modify the existing git-completion.bash script to support
being sourced using bash (as now), but also executed using bash.
When being executed, the script will output the result of the
computed completion to be re-used elsewhere (e.g., in tcsh).
The modification to git-completion.bash is made not to be
tcsh-specific, but to allow future users to also re-use its
output. Therefore, to be general, git-completion.bash accepts a
second optional parameter, which is not used by tcsh, but could
prove useful for other users.
Pros:
1- allows the git-completion.bash script to easily be re-used
2- tcsh support is mostly isolated in git-completion.tcsh
Cons (for tcsh users only):
1- requires the user to copy both git-completion.tcsh and
git-completion.bash to ${HOME}
2- requires bash script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash
B) Modifications:
git-completion.bash
Modify the existing git-completion.bash script to support
being sourced using bash (as now), but also executed using bash,
and sourced using tcsh.
Pros:
1- only requires the user to deal with a single file
2- maintenance more obvious for tcsh since it is entirely part
of the same git-completion.bash script.
Cons:
1- tcsh support could affect bash support as they share the
same script
2- small tcsh section must use syntax suitable for both tcsh
and bash and must be at the beginning of the script
3- requires script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.sh (for tcsh users only)
C) Modifications:
New git-completion.tcsh
Provide a short tcsh script that generates another script
which extends git-completion.bash. This new script can be
used by tcsh to perform completion.
Pros:
1- tcsh support is entirely isolated in git-completion.tcsh
2- new tcsh script can be as complex as needed
Cons (for tcsh users only):
1- requires the user to copy both git-completion.tcsh and
git-completion.bash to ${HOME}
2- requires bash script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash
3- sourcing the new script will generate a third script
Approach (C) was selected avoid any modification to git-completion.bash.

add it once more when computing the list of porcelain commands.
Note that 'help' wasn't actually offered twice because of this,

As reported by Jeroen Meijer[1]; the current code doesn't deal properly
with items (tags, branches, etc.) that have ${} in them because they get
expaned by bash while using compgen.
A simple solution is to quote the items so they get expanded properly
(\$\{\}).
In order to achieve that I took bash-completion's quote() function,
which is rather simple, and renamed it to __git_quote() as per Jeff
King's suggestion.
Solves the original problem for me.

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.

The __gitdir function is duplicated between completion and prompt

them can be subtly broken depending on the order the user's shell
dot-sources them.

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 bash completion doesn't work when certain options to git itself are
specified, e.g. 'git --no-pager <TAB>' errors out with
error: invalid key: alias.--no-pager
The main _git() completion function finds out the git command name by
looping through all the words on the command line and searching for
the first word that is not a known option for the git command.
Unfortunately the list of known git options was not updated in a long
time, and newer options are not skipped but mistaken for a git command.
Such a misrecognized "command" is then passed to __git_aliased_command(),
which in turn passes it to a 'git config' query, hence the error.
Currently the following options are misrecognized for a git command:
-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.

When listing commands in zsh (git <TAB><TAB>), all of them will show up,
instead of only porcelain ones.
The root cause of this is because zsh versions from 4.3.0 to present
(4.3.15) do not correctly propagate the SH_WORD_SPLIT option into the
subshell in ${foo:=$(bar)} expressions. Because of this bug, the list of
all commands was treated as a single word in __git_list_porcelain_commands
and did not match any of the patterns that would usually cause plumbing to
be excluded.
With problematic versions of zsh, after running
emulate sh
fn () {
var='one two'
for v in $var; do echo $v; done
}
x=$(fn)
: ${y=$(fn)}
printing "$x" results in two lines as expected, but printing "$y" results
in a single line because $var is expanded as a single word when evaluating
fn to compute y.
So avoid the construct, and use an explicit 'test -n "$foo" || foo=$(bar)'
instead.

zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS
doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no
solution yet.
This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh
version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve
to 'git checkout master\ '.
Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit a31e626
(completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem
apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported.
The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do
to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This
works on versions of git before and after the introduction of
__gitcomp_nl (a31e626), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12.
Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to
have the same benefits as bash users.

We use the 'read' command without -r, so that it treats '\' as an
escape character, in several places. This breaks the loop reading
refnames from git-for-each-ref in __git_refs() if there are refnames
such as "foo'bar", in which case for-each-ref helpfully quotes them as
$ git update-ref "refs/remotes/test/foo'bar" HEAD
$ git for-each-ref --shell --format="ref=%(refname:short)" "refs/remotes"
ref='test/foo'\''bar'
Interpolating the \' here will read "ref='test/foo'''bar'" instead, and
eval then chokes on the unbalanced quotes.
However, since none of the read loops _want_ to have backslashes
interpolated, it's much safer to use read -r everywhere.

__git_heads() was introduced in 5de40f5 (Teach bash about
git-repo-config., 2006-11-27), and __git_tags() in 88e21dc (Teach bash
about completing arguments for git-tag, 2007-08-31). As their name
suggests, __git_heads() is supposed to list only branches, and
__git_tags() only tags.
Since their introduction both of these functions consist of two
distinct parts. The first part gets branches or tags, respectively,
from a local repositoty using 'git for-each-ref'. The second part
queries a remote repository given as argument using 'git ls-remote'.
These remote-querying parts are broken in both functions since their
introduction, because they list both branches and tags from the remote
repository. (The 'git ls-remote' query is not limited to list only
heads or tags, respectively, and the for loop filtering the query
results prints everything except dereferenced tags.) This breakage
could be easily fixed by passing the '--heads' or '--tags' options or
appropriate refs patterns to the 'git ls-remote' invocations.
However, that no one noticed this breakage yet is probably not a
coincidence: neither of these two functions were used to query a
remote repository, the remote-querying parts were dead code already
upon thier introduction and remained dead ever since.
Since those parts of code are broken, are and were never used, stop
the bit-rotting and remove them.

Refspecs for branches in a remote repository start with 'refs/heads/',
so completing those refspecs with 'git config remote.origin.fetch
<TAB>' always offers 'refs/heads/' first, because that's the unique
part of the possible refspecs. But it does so only after querying the
remote with 'git ls-remote', which can take a while when the request
goes through some slower network to a remote server.
Don't waste the user's time and offer 'refs/heads/' right away for
'git config remote.origin.fetch <TAB>'.
The reason for putting 'refs/heads/' directly into COMPREPLY instead
of using __gitcomp() is to avoid __gitcomp() adding a trailing space.

__git_refs_remotes() is used to provide completion for refspecs to set

When the __git_refs() completion helper function lists refs from a

The remote-handling part of __git_refs() has a nice for loop and state
machine case statement to iterate over all words from the output of
'git ls-remote' to identify object names and ref names. Since each
line in the output of 'git ls-remote' consists of an object name and a
ref name, we can do more effective filtering by using a while-read
loop and letting bash's word splitting take care of object names.
This way the code is easier to understand and the loop will need only
half the number of iterations than before.

For a local repository the __git_refs() completion helper function
lists refs under 'refs/(tags|heads|remotes)/', plus some special refs
like HEAD and ORIG_HEAD. For a remote repository, however, it lists
all refs.
Fix this inconsistency by specifying refs filter patterns for 'git
ls-remote' to only list refs under 'refs/(tags|heads|remotes)/'.
For now this makes it impossible to complete refs outside of
'refs/(tags|heads|remotes)/' in a remote repository, but a followup
patch will resurrect that.

After a unique command or option is completed, in most cases it is a
good thing to add a trailing a space, but sometimes it doesn't make
sense, e.g. when the completed word is an option taking an argument
('--option=') or a configuration section ('core.'). Therefore the
completion script uses the '-o nospace' option to prevent bash from
automatically appending a space to unique completions, and it has the
__gitcomp() function to add that trailing space only when necessary.
See 72e5e989 (bash: Add space after unique command name is completed.,
2007-02-04), 78d4d6a2 (bash: Support unique completion on git-config.,
2007-02-04), and b3391775 (bash: Support unique completion when
possible., 2007-02-04).
__gitcomp() therefore iterates over all possible completion words it
got as argument, and checks each word whether a trailing space is
necessary or not. This is ok for commands, options, etc., i.e. when
the number of words is relatively small, but can be noticeably slow
for large number of refs. However, while options might or might not
need that trailing space, refs are always handled uniformly and always
get that trailing space (or a trailing '.' for 'git config
branch.<head>.'). Since refs listed by __git_refs() & co. are
separated by newline, this allows us some optimizations with
'compgen'.
So, add a specialized variant of __gitcomp() that only deals with
possible completion words separated by a newline and uniformly appends
the trailing space to all words using 'compgen -S " "' (or any other
suffix, if specified), so no iteration over all words is needed. But
we need to fiddle with IFS, because the default IFS containing a space
would cause the added space suffix to be stripped off when compgen's
output is stored in the COMPREPLY array. Therefore we use only
newline as IFS, hence the requirement for the newline-separated
possible completion words.
Convert all callsites of __gitcomp() where it's called with refs, i.e.
when it gets the output of either __git_refs(), __git_heads(),
__git_tags(), __git_refs2(), __git_refs_remotes(), or the odd 'git
for-each-ref' somewhere in _git_config(). Also convert callsites
where it gets other uniformly handled newline separated word lists,
i.e. either remotes from __git_remotes(), names of set configuration
variables from __git_config_get_set_variables(), stashes, or commands.
Here are some timing results for dealing with 10000 refs.
Before:
$ refs="$(__git_refs ~/tmp/git/repo-with-10k-refs/)"

Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.
Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.
Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

Revert "completion: don't declare 'local words' to make zsh happy"
git-completion: fix regression in zsh support
completion: move private shopt shim for zsh to __git_ namespace
completion: don't declare 'local words' to make zsh happy
The zsh support of git-completion script in contrib/ is broken for current
versions of zsh, and does not notice when there's a subcommand.
For example: "git log origi<TAB>" gives no completions because it would
try to find a "git origi..." command. This will be fixed by zsh 4.3.12,
but for now we can workaround it by backporting the same fix as zsh folks
implemented.
The problem started after commit v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get
--pretty=m<tab> completion to work with bash v4), which introduced
_get_comp_words_by_ref() that comes from bash-completion[1] scripts, and
relies on the 'words' variable.
However, it turns out 'words' is a special variable used by zsh
completion. From zshcompwid(1):
[...] the parameters are reset on each function exit (including nested
function calls from within the completion widget) to the values they had
when the function was entered.
As a result, subcommand words are lost. Ouch.
This is now fixed in the latest master branch of zsh[2] by simply defining
'words' as hidden (typeset -h), which removes the special meaning inside
the emulated bash function. So let's do the same.

Most zsh users probably probably do not expect a custom shopt function
to enter their environment just because they ran "source
~/.git-completion.sh".
Such namespace pollution makes development of other scripts confusing
(because it makes the bash-specific shopt utility seem to be available
in zsh) and makes git's tab completion script brittle (since any other
shell snippet implementing some other subset of shopt will break it).
Rename the shopt shim to the more innocuous __git_shopt to be a good
citizen (with two underscores to avoid confusion with completion rules
for a hypothetical "git shopt" command).

The "_get_comp_words_by_ref -n := words" command from the
bash_completion library reassembles a modified version of COMP_WORDS
with ':' and '=' no longer treated as word separators and stores it in
the ${words[@]} array. Git's programmable tab completion script uses
this to abstract away the difference between bash v3's and bash v4's
definitions of COMP_WORDS (bash v3 used shell words, while bash v4
breaks at separator characters); see v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get
--pretty=m<tab> completion to work with bash v4, 2010-12-02).
zsh has (or rather its completion functions have) another idea about
what ${words[@]} should contain: the array is prepopulated with the
words from the command it is completing. For reasons that are not
well understood, when git-completion.bash reserves its own "words"
variable with "local words", the variable becomes empty and cannot be
changed from then on. So the completion script neglects the arguments
it has seen, and words complete like git subcommand names. For
example, typing "git log origi<TAB>" gives no completions because
there are no "git origi..." commands.
However, when this words variable is not declared as local but is just
populated by _get_comp_words_by_ref() and then read in various
completion functions, then zsh seems to be happy about it and our
completion script works as expected.
So, to get our completion script working again under zsh and to
prevent the words variable from leaking into the shell environment
under bash, we will only declare words as local when using bash.

In v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get --pretty=m<tab> completion to work
with bash v4, 2010-12-02) we started to use _get_comp_words_by_ref()
to access completion-related variables. That was large change, and to
make it easily reviewable, we invoked _get_comp_words_by_ref() in each
completion function and systematically replaced every occurance of
bash's completion-related variables ($COMP_WORDS and $COMP_CWORD) with
variables set by _get_comp_words_by_ref().
This has the downside that _get_comp_words_by_ref() is invoked several
times during a single completion. The worst offender is perhaps 'git
log mas<TAB>': during the completion of 'master'
_get_comp_words_by_ref() is invoked no less than six times.
However, the variables $prev, $cword, and $words provided by
_get_comp_words_by_ref() are not modified in any of the completion
functions, and the previous commit ensures that the $cur variable is
not modified as well. This makes it possible to invoke
_get_comp_words_by_ref() to get those variables only once in our
toplevel completion functions _git() and _gitk(), and all other
completion functions will inherit them.

This $cur variable is left unchanged in most completion functions;
there are only four functions modifying its value, namely __gitcomp(),
__git_complete_revlist_file(), __git_complete_remote_or_refspec(), and

If this variable were never modified, then it would allow us a nice

While doing a final sanity check before merging a topic Bsomething, it
is a good idea to review what damage Bsomething branch would make, by
running:
$ git diff ...Bsomething
Unfortunately, our completion script for 'git diff' doesn't offer
anything after '...'. This is because 'git diff's completion function
invokes __git_complete_file() for non-option arguments to complete the
'<tree>:<path>' extended SHA-1 notation, but this helper function
doesn't support refs after '...' or '..'. Completion of refs after
'...' or '..' is supported by the __git_complete_revlist() helper
function, but that doesn't support '<tree>:<path>'.
To support both '...<ref>' and '<tree>:<path>' notations for 'git
diff', this patch, instead of adding yet another helper function,
joins __git_complete_file() and __git_complete_revlist() into the new
common function __git_complete_revlist_file(). The old helper
functions __git_complete_file() and __git_complete_revlist() are
changed to be a direct wrapper around the new
__git_complete_revlist_file(), because they might be used in
user-supplied completion scripts and we don't want to break them.
This change will cause some wrong suggestions for other commands which
use __git_complete_file() ('git diff' and friends) or
__git_complete_revlist() ('git log' and friends), e.g. 'git diff
...master:Doc<TAB>' and 'git log master:Doc<TAB>' will complete the
path to 'Documentation/', although neither commands make any sense.
However, both of these were actively wrong to begin with as soon as
the user entered the ':', so there is no real harm done.

Bash's programmable completion provides the COMP_WORDS array variable,
which holds the individual words in the current command line. In bash
versions prior to v4 "words are split on shell metacharacters as the
shell parser would separate them" (quote from bash v3.2.48's man
page). This behavior has changed with bash v4, and the command line
"is split into words as readline would split it, using COMP_WORDBREAKS
as" "the set of characters that the readline library treats as word
separators" (quote from bash v4's man page).
Since COMP_WORDBREAKS contains the characters : and = by default, this
behavior change in bash affects git's completion script. For example,
before bash 4, running
$ git log --pretty=m <tab><tab>
would give a list of pretty-printing formats starting with 'm' but now
it completes on branch names.
It would be possible to work around this by removing '=' and ':' from
COMP_WORDBREAKS, but as noticed in v1.5.6.4~9^2 (bash completion:
Resolve git show ref:path<tab> losing ref: portion, 2008-07-15), that
would break *other* completion scripts. The bash-completion library
includes a better workaround: the _get_comp_words_by_ref function
re-assembles a copy of COMP_WORDS, excluding a collection of word
separators of the caller's choice. Use it.
As a bonus, this also improves behavior when tab is pressed with the
cursor in the middle of a word.
To avoid breaking setups with the bash-completion library not already
loaded, if the _get_comp_words_by_ref function is not defined then a
shim that just reads COMP_WORDS will be used instead (no change from
the current behavior in that case).
