Using `git push origin +foo` to forcefully overwrite the remote
branch named foo is a common idiom, especially since + is shorter
than the long option --force and can be specified on a per-branch
basis.
We now complete `git push origin +foo` just like we do the standard
`git push origin foo`. The leading + on a branch refspec does not
alter the completion.

Raimund Bauer just discovered that the default bash completion for
a local branch name in a git-push line is not the best choice when
the branch does not exist on the remote system.
In the past we have always completed the local name 'test' as
"test:test", indicating that the destination name is the same as
the local name. But this fails when "test" does not yet exist on
the remote system, as there is no "test" branch for it to match
the name against.
Fortunately git-push does the right thing when given just the
local branch, as it assumes you want to use the same name in the
destination repository. So we now offer "test" as the completion
in a git-push line, and let git-push assume that is also the remote
branch name.
We also still support the remote branch completion after the :,
but only if the user manually adds the colon before trying to get
a completion.

A few new configuration options grew out of the woodwork during the
1.5.2 series. Most of these are pretty easy to support a completion
of, so we do so.
I wanted to also add completion support for the <driver> part of
merge.<driver>.name but to do that we have to look at all of the
.gitattributes files and guess what the unique set of <driver>
strings would be. Since this appears to be non-trivial I'm punting
on it at this time.

(Somewhat) recently git-log learned about --reverse (to show commits

These are both useful options, so we should make them easy for the

Because we use the nospace option for our completion function for
the main 'git' wrapper bash won't automatically add a space after a
unique completion has been made by the user. This has been pointed
out in the past by Linus Torvalds as an undesired behavior. I agree.
We have to use the nospace option to ensure path completion for
a command such as `git show` works properly, but that breaks the
common case of getting the space for a unique completion. So now we
set IFS=$'\n' (linefeed) and add a trailing space to every possible
completion option. This causes bash to insert the space when the
completion is unique.

It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a

policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8). Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.
The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches. The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.
This patch does the same thing for
- git-log (color.diff)
- git-status (color.status)
- git-diff (color.diff)
- pager (color.pager)
I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions. I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.
Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.

Commit 35e65ecc broke completion of local refs, e.g. "git pull . fo<tab>"
no longer would complete to "foo". Instead it printed out an internal
git error ("fatal: Not a git repository: '.'").
The break occurred when I tried to improve performance by switching from
git-peek-remote to git-for-each-ref. Apparently git-peek-remote will
drop into directory "$1/.git" (where $1 is its first parameter) if it
is given a repository with a working directory. This allowed the bash
completion code to work properly even though it was not handing over
the true repository directory.
So now we do a stat in bash to see if we need to add "/.git" to the
path string before running any command with --git-dir.
I also tried to optimize away two "git rev-parse --git-dir" invocations
in common cases like "git log fo<tab>" as typically the user is in the
top level directory of their project and therefore the .git subdirectory
is in the current working directory. This should make a difference on
systems where fork+exec might take a little while.

Since the user's git installation is not likely to grow a new command
or merge strategy in the lifespan of the current shell process we can
save time during completion operations by caching these lists during
sourcing of the completion support.
If the git executable is not available or we run into errors while
caching at load time then we defer these to runtime and generate
the list on the fly. This might happen if the user doesn't put git
into their PATH until after the completion script gets sourced.
