Several completion functions contain the following pattern to run git commands respecting the path to the repository specified on the command line: git --git-dir="$(__gitdir)" <cmd> <options> This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell for the command substitution and potentially fork()+exec()ing 'git rev-parse' inside __gitdir(). Now, if neither '--gitdir=<path>' nor '-C <path>' options are specified on the command line, then those git commands are perfectly capable to discover the repository on their own. If either one or both of those options are specified on the command line, then, again, the git commands could discover the repository, if we pass them all of those options from the command line. This means we don't have to run __gitdir() at all for git commands and can spare its fork()+exec() overhead. Use Bash parameter expansions to check the $__git_dir variable and $__git_C_args array and to assemble the appropriate '--git-dir=<path>' and '-C <path>' options if either one or both are present on the command line. These parameter expansions are, however, rather long, so instead of changing all git executions and make already long lines even longer, encapsulate running git with '--git-dir=<path> -C <path>' options into the new __git() wrapper function. Furthermore, this wrapper function will also enable us to silence error messages from git commands uniformly in one place in a later commit. There's one tricky case, though: in __git_refs() local refs are listed with 'git for-each-ref', where "local" is not necessarily the repository we are currently in, but it might mean a remote repository in the filesystem (e.g. listing refs for 'git fetch /some/other/repo <TAB>'). Use one-shot variable assignment to override $__git_dir with the path of the repository where the refs should come from. Although one-shot variable assignments in front of shell functions are to be avoided in our scripts in general, in the Bash completion script we can do that safely.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
