SZEDER Gábor ea95c7b8f5 completion: improve untracked directory filtering for filename completion
Similar to Bash's default filename completion, our git-aware filename
completion stops at directory boundaries, i.e. it doesn't offer the
full 'path/to/file' at first, but only 'path/'.  To achieve that the
completion script runs 'git ls-files' with specific command line
options to get the list of relevant paths under the current directory,
and then processes each path to strip all but the base directory or
filename (see __git_index_files()).

To offer only modified and untracked files for 'git add' the
completion script runs 'git ls-files --exclude-standard --others
--modified'.  This command lists all non-ignored files in untracked
directories, which leads to a noticeable delay caused by the
processing mentioned above if there are a lot of such files
(__git_index_files() specifies '--exclude-standard' internally):

  $ mkdir untracked-dir
  $ for i in {1..10000} ; do >untracked-dir/$i ; done
  $ time __git_index_files "--others --modified"
  untracked-dir

  real	0m0.537s
  user	0m0.452s
  sys	0m0.160s

Eliminate this delay by additionally passing the '--directory
--no-empty-directory' options to 'git ls-files' to show only the
directory name of non-empty untracked directories instead their whole
content:

  $ time __git_index_files "--others --modified --directory --no-empty-directory"
  untracked-dir

  real	0m0.029s
  user	0m0.020s
  sys	0m0.004s

Filename completion for 'git clean' suffers from the same delay, as it
offers untracked files, too.  The fix could be the same, but since it
actually makes sense to 'git clean' empty directories, in this case we
only pass the '--directory' option to 'git ls-files'.

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.
