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that completion is no longer valid.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'.

Doing a "git rm submod/" on a submodule results in an error:
fatal: pathspec 'submod/' did not match any files
This is really inconvenient as e.g. using TAB completion in a shell on a
submodule automatically adds the trailing '/' when it completes the path
of the submodule directory. The user has then to remove the '/' herself to
make a "git rm" succeed. Doing a "git rm -r somedir/" is working fine, so
there is no reason why that shouldn't work for submodules too.
Teach git rm to not error out when a '/' is appended to the path of a
submodule. Achieve this by chopping off trailing slashes from the path
names given if they represent directories. Add tests to make sure that
logic only applies to directories and not to files.

Git configuration items can not contain underscores in their section
and bottom-level variable name; the 'remote_heads' feature can not
be enabled on a per-repository basis with that name.
This changes the git-config option to be `gitweb.remoteheads` but does
not change the gitweb.conf option, to avoid backwards compatibility
issues. We strip underscores from keys before looking through
git-config output for them.
An existing check on keynames was overly eager to reject non-word
letters, but if we ever start using three-level names, the middle
level string can contain almost anything, so fix that as well while
we are in the vicinity.

In particular, gcc issues an "'gzip_size' might be used uninitialized"
warning (-Wuninitialized). However, this warning is a false positive,
since the 'gzip_size' variable would not, in fact, be used uninitialized.
In order to suppress the warning, we simply initialise the variable to
zero in it's declaration.

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:
1) Less workarounds
* 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
(missing feature)
3) Consolidated code
* It's all now in a single chunk, and it's basically the same as
git-completion.zsh
Since there's some interest in moving the zsh-specific code out of this
script, lets go ahead and warn the users that they should be using
git-completion.zsh.

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.
