The standard format for referencing other commits within some projects
(such as git.git) is the reference format. This is described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as
If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
branch, use the format "abbreviated hash (subject, date)", like this:
....
Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30)
noticed that ...
....
Since this format is so commonly used, standardize it as a pretty
format.
The tests that are implemented essentially show that the format-string
does not change in response to various log options. This is useful
because, for future developers, it shows that we've considered the
limitations of the "canned format-string" approach and we are fine with
them.

In 2b9bd488ae ("completion: teach rebase to use __gitcomp_builtin",
2019-09-12), the completion script learned to complete rebase using
__gitcomp_builtin(). However, this resulted in `--onto=` being suggested
instead of `--onto `.
Before, when there was a space, we'd start a new word and, as a result,
fallback to __git_complete_refs() and `--onto` would be completed this
way. However, now we match the `--*` case which does not know how to
offer completions for refs.
Teach _git_rebase() to complete refs in the `--onto=` case so that we
fix this regression.

Unfortunately, since some args are passed through from cmd_archive() to
write_archive() (which calls parse_archive_args()), there's no way that a

A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they
wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquash, they
would run something such as
git rebase -i --onto master... master
in order to preserve the merge base. This is useful when contributing a
patch series to the Git mailing list, one often starts on top of the
current 'master'. While developing the patches, 'master' is also
developed further and it is sometimes not the best idea to keep rebasing
on top of 'master', but to keep the base commit as-is.
In addition to this, a user wishing to test individual commits in a
topic branch without changing anything may run
git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master
Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is
such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut.
This allows us to rewrite the above as
git rebase -i --keep-base master
and
git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master
respectively.
Add tests to ensure --keep-base works correctly in the normal case and
fails when there are multiple merge bases, both in regular and
interactive mode. Also, test to make sure conflicting options cause
rebase to fail. While we're adding test cases, add a missing
set_fake_editor call to 'rebase -i --onto master...side'.
While we're documenting the --keep-base option, change an instance of
"merge-base" to "merge base", which is the consistent spelling.

Add an option to the __git_complete_config_variable_name_and_value()

The second '*' in the '--*=*' pattern of the inner 'case' statement of
the __gitcomp() helper function never matches anything, so let's use
'--*=' instead.
The purpose of that inner case statement is to decide when to append a
trailing space to the listed options and when not. When an option
requires a stuck argument, i.e. '--option=', then the trailing space
should not be added, so the user can continue typing the required
argument right away. That '--*=*' pattern is supposed to match these
options, but for this purpose that second '*' is unnecessary, a '--*='
pattern works just as well. That second '*' would only make a
difference in case of a possible completion word like
'--option=value', but our completion script never passes such a word
to __gitcomp(), because the '--option=' and its 'value' must be
completed separately.

The number of configuration variables listed by the completion script
grew quite when we started to auto-generate it from the documentation
[1], so we now complete them in two steps: first we list only the
section names, then the rest [2]. To get the section names we simply
strip everything following the first dot in each variable name,
resulting in a lot of repeated section names, because most sections
contain more than one configuration variable. This is not a
correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion facilities
remove all repetitions anyway, but these repetitions make testing a
bit harder.
Replace the small 'sed' script removing subsections and variable names
with an 'awk' script that does the same, and in addition removes any
repeated configuration sections as well (by first creating and filling
an associative array indexed by all encountered configuration
sections, and then iterating over this array and printing the indices,
i.e. the unique section names). This change makes the failing 'git
config - section' test in 't9902-completion.sh' pass.
Note that this changes the order of section names in the output, and
makes it downright undeterministic, but this is not an issue, because
Bash sorts them before presenting them to the user, and our completion
tests sort them as well before comparing with the expected output.
Yeah, it would be simpler and shorter to just append '| sort -u' to
that command, but that would incur the overhead of one more external
process and pipeline stage every time a user completes configuration
sections.

so this list won't get out of sync when a similar new configuration
variable accepting the same values is introduced [1].
Furthermore, their documentation explicitly mentions that they all
accept the standard boolean values 'false' and 'true' as well, so list
these, too, among the possible values.

"git <cmd> --git-completion-helper" could fail if the command checks for

Avoid this by detecting errors and not cache the completion output. We
can try again and hopefully succeed next time (e.g. when a repo is
found).
Of course if --git-completion-helper fails permanently because of other
reasons (*), this will slow down completion. But I don't see any better
option to handle that case.
(*) one of those cases is if __gitcomp_builtin is called on a command
that does not support --git-completion-helper. And we do have a

If someone wants to use as a filter a sparse file that is in the
repository, something like "--filter=sparse:oid=<ref>:<path>"
already works.
So 'sparse:path' is only interesting if the sparse file is not in
the repository. In this case though the current implementation has
a big security issue, as it makes it possible to ask the server to
read any file, like for example /etc/password, and to explore the
filesystem, as well as individual lines of files.
If someone is interested in using a sparse file that is not in the
repository as a filter, then at the minimum a config option, such
as "uploadpack.sparsePathFilter", should be implemented first to
restrict the directory from which the files specified by
'sparse:path' can be read.
For now though, let's just disable 'sparse:path' filters.

With zsh, "git cmd path<TAB>" was completed to "git cmd path name"

has been fixed to complete it to "git cmd path\ name" just like
Bash completion does.

completion: treat results of git ls-tree as file paths
zsh: complete unquoted paths with spaces correctly
Let's say there are files named 'foo bar.txt', and 'abc def/test.txt' in
repository. When following commands trigger a completion:
git show HEAD:fo<Tab>
git show HEAD:ab<Tab>
The completion results in bash/zsh:
git show HEAD:foo bar.txt
git show HEAD:abc def/
Where the both of them have an unescaped space in paths, so they'll be
misread by git. All entries of git ls-tree either a filename or a
directory, so __gitcomp_file() is proper rather than __gitcomp_nl().
Note the commit f12785a3, which handles quoted paths properly. Like this
case, we should dequote $cur_ for ?*:* case. For example, let's say
there is untracked directory 'abc deg', then trigger a completion:
git show HEAD:abc\ de<Tab>
git show HEAD:'abc de<Tab>
git show HEAD:"abc de<Tab>
should uniquely complete 'abc def', but bash completes 'abc def' and
'abc deg' instead. In zsh, triggering a completion:
git show HEAD:abc\ def/<Tab>
should complete 'test.txt', but nothing comes. The both problems will be
resolved by dequoting paths.
__git_complete_revlist_file() passes arguments to __gitcomp_nl() where
the first one is a list something like:
abc def/Z
foo bar.txt Z
where Z is the mark of the EOL.
- The trailing space of blob in __git ls-tree | sed.
It makes the completion results become:
git show HEAD:foo\ bar.txt\ <CURSOR>
So git will try to find a file named 'foo bar.txt ' instead.
- The trailing slash of tree in __git ls-tree | sed.
It makes the completion results on zsh become:
git show HEAD:abc\ def/ <CURSOR>
So that the last space on command like should be removed on zsh to
complete filenames under 'abc def/'.

The following is the description of -Q flag of zsh compadd [1]:
This flag instructs the completion code not to quote any
metacharacters in the words when inserting them into the command
line.
Let's say there is a file named 'foo bar.txt' in repository, but it's
not yet added to the repository. Then the following command triggers a
completion:
git add fo<Tab>
git add 'fo<Tab>
git add "fo<Tab>
The completion results in bash:
git add foo\ bar.txt
git add 'foo bar.txt'
git add "foo bar.txt"
While them in zsh:
git add foo bar.txt
git add 'foo bar.txt'
git add "foo bar.txt"
The first one, where the pathname is not enclosed in quotes, should
escape the space with a backslash, just like bash completion does.
Otherwise, this leads git to think there are two files; foo, and
bar.txt.
The main cause of this behavior is __gitcomp_file_direct(). The both
implementions of bash and zsh are called with an argument 'foo bar.txt',
but only bash adds a backslash before a space on command line.

The workaround here is implement --git-completion-helper in

This is enough to use __gitcomp_builtin on send-email (to take
advantage of caching).
In the end, send-email.perl can probably reuse the same info it passes
to GetOptions() to generate full --git-completion-helper output so
that we don't need to keep track of its options in git-completion.bash
anymore. But that's something for another boring day.

__gitcomp_builtin() has the main completion list provided by
git xxx --git-completion-helper
but the caller can also add extra options that is not provided by
--git-completion-helper. The only call site that does this is "git
difftool" completion.
This support is broken by b221b5ab9b (completion: collapse extra
--no-.. options - 2018-06-06), which adds a special value "--" to mark
that the rest of the options can be hidden by default. The commit
forgets the fact that extra options are appended after
"$(git xxx --git-completion-helper)", i.e. after this "--", and will
be incorrectly hidden as well.
Prepend the extra options before "$(git xxx --git-completion-helper)"
to avoid this.

Work around zsh segfaulting when loading git-completion.zsh
* sg/completion-zsh-workaround:
completion: correct zsh detection when run from git-completion.zsh
v2.18.0-rc0~90^2 (completion: reduce overhead of clearing cached
--options, 2018-04-18) worked around a bug in bash's "set" builtin on
MacOS by using compgen instead. It was careful to avoid breaking zsh
by guarding this workaround with
if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-}} ]]
Alas, this interacts poorly with git-completion.zsh's bash emulation:
ZSH_VERSION='' . "$script"
Correct it by instead using a new GIT_SOURCING_ZSH_COMPLETION shell
variable to detect whether git-completion.bash is being sourced from
git-completion.zsh. This way, the zsh variant is used both when run
from zsh directly and when run via git-completion.zsh.
Reproduction recipe:
1. cd git/contrib/completion && cp git-completion.zsh _git
2. Put the following in a new ~/.zshrc file:
autoload -U compinit; compinit
autoload -U bashcompinit; bashcompinit
fpath=(~/src/git/contrib/completion $fpath)
3. Open zsh and "git <TAB>".

The commands that make use of --git-completion-helper feature could
now produce a lot of --no-xxx options that a command can take. This in
many case could nearly double the amount of completable options, using
more screen estate and also harder to search for the wanted option.
This patch attempts to mitigate that by collapsing extra --no-
options, the ones that are added by --git-completion-helper and not in
original struct option arrays. The "--no-..." option will be displayed
in this case to hint about more options, e.g.
> ~/w/git $ git clone --
--bare --origin=
--branch= --progress
--checkout --quiet
--config= --recurse-submodules
--depth= --reference=
--dissociate --reference-if-able=
--filter= --separate-git-dir=
--hardlinks --shallow-exclude=
--ipv4 --shallow-since=
--ipv6 --shallow-submodules
--jobs= --shared
--local --single-branch
--mirror --tags
--no-... --template=
--no-checkout --upload-pack=
--no-hardlinks --verbose
--no-tags
and when you complete it with --no-<tab>, all negative options will be
presented:
> ~/w/git $ git clone --no-
--no-bare --no-quiet
--no-branch --no-recurse-submodules
--no-checkout --no-reference
--no-config --no-reference-if-able
--no-depth --no-separate-git-dir
--no-dissociate --no-shallow-exclude
--no-filter --no-shallow-since
--no-hardlinks --no-shallow-submodules
--no-ipv4 --no-shared
--no-ipv6 --no-single-branch
--no-jobs --no-tags
--no-local --no-template
--no-mirror --no-upload-pack
--no-origin --no-verbose
--no-progress
Corner case: to make sure that people will never accidentally complete
the fake option "--no-..." there must be one real --no- in the first
complete listing even if it's not from the original struct option.
PS. This could could be made simpler with ";&" to fall through from
"--no-*" block and share the code but ";&" is not available on bash-3

By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command
collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before
this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In
"git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for
getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not
really count.
A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed
anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay
because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and
without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable.
There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before
"git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as
well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over
command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a

Instead of maintaining a separate list of command classification,
which often could go out of date, let's centralize the information
back in git.
While the function in git-completion.bash implies "list porcelain
commands", that's not exactly what it does. It gets all commands (aka
--list-cmds=main,others) then exclude certain non-porcelain ones. We
could almost recreate this list two lists list-mainporcelain and
others. The non-porcelain-but-included-anyway is added by the third
category list-complete.
Note that the current completion script incorrectly classifies
filter-branch as porcelain and t9902 tests this behavior. We keep it
this way in t9902 because this test does not really care which
particular command is porcelain or plumbing, they're just names.

This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by

In __gitcomp_file_direct() we tell Bash that it should handle our
possible completion words as filenames with the following piece of
cleverness:
# use a hack to enable file mode in bash < 4
compopt -o filenames +o nospace 2>/dev/null ||
compgen -f /non-existing-dir/ > /dev/null
Unfortunately, this makes this function always return with error
when it is not invoked in real completion, but e.g. in tests of
't9902-completion.sh':
- First the 'compopt' line errors out
- either because in Bash v3.x there is no such command,
- or because in Bash v4.x it complains about "not currently
executing completion function",
- then 'compgen' just silently returns with error because of the
non-existing directory.
Since __gitcomp_file_direct() is now the last command executed in
__git_complete_index_file(), that function returns with error as well,
which prevents it from being invoked in tests directly as is, and
would require extra steps in test to hide its error code.
So let's make sure that __gitcomp_file_direct() doesn't return with
error, because in the tests coming in the following patch we do want
to exercise __git_complete_index_file() directly,
__gitcomp_file() contains the same construct, and thus it, too, always
returns with error. Update that function accordingly as well.
While at it, also remove the space from between the redirection
operator and the filename in both functions.

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`.

We define 'git stash -p' as an alias for 'git stash push -p' in the
manpage. Do the same in the completion script, so all options that
can be given to 'git stash push' are being completed when the user is
using 'git stash -p --<tab>'. Currently the only additional option
the user will get is '--message', but there may be more in the future.
