When using the branch creation argument for git switch or git checkout
(-c/-C or -b/-B), the commands switch to a different mode: `git switch
-c <branch> <some-referance>` means to create a branch named <branch> at
the commit referred to by <some-reference>.
When completing git switch or git checkout, it makes sense to complete
the branch name differently from the start point.
When completing a branch, one might consider that we do not have
anything worth completing. After all, a new branch must have an entirely
new name. Consider, however, that if a user names branches using some
similar scheme, they might wish to name a new branch by modifying the
name of an existing branch.
To avoid overloading completion for the argument, it seems reasonable to
complete only the local branch names and the valid "Do What I Mean"
remote branch names.
Add tests for the completion of the argument to -c/-C and -b/-B,
highlighting this preferred completion behavior.

When the --track option is provided to git switch or git checkout, and
no branch is specified by -c or -b, git will interpret the tracking
branch to determine the local branch name to use. This "Do What I Mean"
logic is similar but distinct from the default DWIM logic of
interpreting a unique remote branch name as a request to create and
track that branch.
For example, `git switch --track origin/master` is interpreted as
a request to create a local branch named master that is tracking
origin/master.
The current completion for git checkout in this regard is only somewhat
poor:
$git checkout --track <TAB>
HEAD
master
matching-branch
matching-tag
other/branch-in-other
other/master-in-other
At least it still includes remote references. The clutter from including
all references isn't too bad.
However, git switch completion is terrible:
$git switch --track <TAB>
master
matching-branch
It only shows local branches, not even allowing any form of completion
of the remote references!
Add tests which highlight the expected behavior of completing --track on
its own.
Note that when -c/-C or -b/-B are provided we do expect completing more
references, but this will be discussed in a future change that addresses
these options specifically.

When completing words for git switch, the completion function correctly
disables the DWIM remote branch names when in the '--detach' mode. These
DWIM remote branch names will not work when the --detach option is
specified, so it does not make sense to complete them.
git checkout, however, does not disable the completion of DWIM remote
branch names in this case.
Add test cases for both git switch and git checkout showing the expected
behavior.

When provided with a single argument that is the name of a remote branch
that does not yet exist locally, both git switch and git checkout can
interpret this as a request to create a local branch that tracks that
remote branch. We call this behavior "Do What I Mean", or DWIM for
short.
To aid in using this DWIM, it makes sense for completion to list these
unique remote branch names when completing possible arguments for git
switch and git checkout. Indeed, both _git_checkout and _git_switch
implement support for completing such DWIM branch names.
In other words, in addition to the usual completions provided for git
switch, this "DWIM" logic means completion will include the names of
branches on remotes that are unique and thus there can be no ambiguity
of which remote to track when creating the local branch.
However, the DWIM logic is not always active. Many options, such as
--no-guess, --no-track, and --track disable this DWIM logic, as they
cause git switch and git checkout to behave in different modes.
Additionally, some completion users do not wish to have tab completion
include these remote names by default, and thus introduced
GIT_COMPLETION_CHECKOUT_NO_GUESS as an optional way to configure the
completion support to disable this feature of completion support.
For this reason, _git_checkout and _git_switch have many rules about
when to enable or disable completing of these remote refs. The two
commands follow similar but not identical rules.
Set aside the question of command modes that do not accept this DWIM
logic (--track, -c, --orphan, --detach) for now. Thinking just about the
main mode of git checkout and git switch, the following guidelines will
help explain the basic rules we ought to support when deciding whether
to list the remote branches for DWIM in completion.
1. if --guess is enabled, we should list DWIM remote branch names, even
if something else would disable it
2. if --no-guess, --no-track or GIT_COMPLETION_CHECKOUT_NO_GUESS=1,
then we should disable listing DWIM remote branch names.
3. Since the '--guess' option is a boolean option, a later --guess
should override --no-guess, and a later --no-guess should override
--guess.
Putting all of these together, add some tests that highlight the
expected behavior of this DWIM logic.

When provided with no options, git switch only allows switching between
branches. The one exception to this is the "Do What I Mean" logic that
allows a unique remote branch name to be interpreted as a request to
create a branch of the same name that is tracking that remote branch.
Unfortunately, the logic for the completion of git switch results in
completing not just branch names, but also pseudorefs like HEAD, tags,
and fully specified <remote>/<branch> references.
For example, we currently complete the following:
$git switch <TAB>
HEAD
branch-in-other
master
master-in-other
matching-branch
matching-tag
other/branch-in-other
other/master-in-other
Indeed, if one were to attempt to use git switch with some of these
provided options, git will reject the request:
$git switch HEAD
fatal: a branch is expected, got 'HEAD
$git switch matching-tag
fatal: a branch is expected, got tag 'matching-tag'
$git switch other/branch-in-other
fatal: a branch is expected, got remote branch 'other/branch-in-other'
Ideally, git switch without options ought to complete only words which
will be accepted. Without options, this means to list local branch names
and the unique remote branch names without their remote name pre-pended.
$git switch <TAB>
branch-in-other
master
master-in-other
matching-branch
Add a test case that highlights this subpar completion. Also add
a similar test for git checkout completion that shows that due to the
complex nature of git checkout, it must complete all references.

Completing configuration sections and variable names for the stuck

Add an option to the __git_complete_config_variable_name_and_value()

functions to specify the current section/variable name to be
completed, so they can be used even when completing the stuck argument

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.

The next patches will change/refactor the way we complete
configuration variable names and values, so add a few tests to cover
the basics, namely the completion of matching configuration sections,
full variable names, and their values.
Note that the test checking the completion of configuration sections
is currently failing, though it's not a sign of an actual bug. If a
section contains multiple variables, then that section is currently
repeated as many times as the number of variables in there. This is
not a correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion
facilities remove all repetitions anyway. Consequently, we could list
all those repeated sections in the expected output of this test as
well, but then it would have to be updated whenever a new
configuration variable is added to those sections. Instead, list each
matching configuration section only once, mark the test as failing for
now, and the next patch will update the completion script to avoid
those repetitions.

Change the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON variable from being "non-empty?" to
being a more standard boolean variable.
Since it needed to be checked in both C code and shellscript (via test
-n) it was one of the remaining shellscript-like variables. Now that
we have "env--helper" we can change that.
There's a couple of tricky edge cases that arise because we're using
git_env_bool() early, and the config-reading "env--helper".
If GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON is set to an invalid value die_bad_number()
will die, but to do so it would usually call gettext(). Let's detect
the special case of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON and always emit that
message in the C locale, lest we infinitely loop.
As seen in the updated tests in t0017-env-helper.sh there's also a
caveat related to "env--helper" needing to read the config for trace2
purposes.
Since the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT prerequisite is lazy and relies on
"env--helper" we could get invalid results if we failed to read the
config (e.g. because we'd loop on includes) when combined with
e.g. "test_i18ngrep" wanting to check with "env--helper" if
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON was true or not.
I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that a test similar to the one I
removed in the earlier "config tests: simplify include cycle test"
change in this series won't happen again, and testing for this
explicitly in "env--helper"'s own tests.
This change breaks existing uses of
e.g. GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease, which we've documented in
po/README and other places. As noted in [1] we might want to consider
also accepting "YesPlease" in "env--helper" as a special-case.
But as the lack of uproar over 6cdccfce1e ("i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON
a runtime option", 2018-11-08) demonstrates the audience for this
option is a really narrow set of git developers, who shouldn't have
much trouble modifying their test scripts, so I think it's better to
deal with that minor headache now and make all the relevant GIT_TEST_*
variables boolean in the same way than carry the "YesPlease"
special-case forward.

Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which

entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in

working tree.
Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git
checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working
tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>.
Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works
this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow
'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect
to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way.
Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout
--no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the
working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/'

Let's say there are files named 'foo bar.txt', and 'abc def/test.txt' in

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/'.

Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked
properly with conditions like this:
test "$#" = 2 ||
error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success"
If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the
whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away.
However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted
completely silently, namely if:
- a similar condition in a test helper function like
'test_line_count' is triggered,
- which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2],
- and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as
opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3]
- and without the '--verbose' option,
because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where
standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file.
The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in
the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output
there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can
easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself.
Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the
test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs
will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such
'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to
'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection
and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and
convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function
instead.
[1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is
printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose';
with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without
color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless.
[2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then
'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the
subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way,
indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong.
[3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run
manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay
attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently
aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual
noticable error messages.
[4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that
redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g.
'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's
better to be consistent.

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"

For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.

Change the GETTEXT_POISON compile-time + runtime GIT_GETTEXT_POISON
test parameter to only be a GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=<non-empty?>
runtime parameter, to be consistent with other parameters documented
in "Running tests with special setups" in t/README.
When I added GETTEXT_POISON in bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON
to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) I was concerned with
ensuring that the _() function would get constant folded if NO_GETTEXT
was defined, and likewise that GETTEXT_POISON would be compiled out
unless it was defined.
But as the benchmark in my [1] shows doing a one-off runtime
getenv("GIT_TEST_[...]") is trivial, and since GETTEXT_POISON was
originally added the GIT_TEST_* env variables have become the common
idiom for turning on special test setups.
So change GETTEXT_POISON to work the same way. Now the
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time option is gone, and running the
tests with GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=[YesPlease|] can be toggled on/off
without recompiling.
This allows for conditionally amending tests to test with/without
poison, similar to what 859fdc0c3c ("commit-graph: define
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH", 2018-08-29) did for GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Do
some of that, now we e.g. always run the t0205-gettext-poison.sh test.
I did enough there to remove the GETTEXT_POISON prerequisite, but its
inverse C_LOCALE_OUTPUT is still around, and surely some tests using
it can be converted to e.g. always set GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=.
Notes on the implementation:
* We still compile a dedicated GETTEXT_POISON build in Travis
CI. Perhaps this should be revisited and integrated into the
"linux-gcc" build, see ae59a4e44f ("travis: run tests with
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX", 2018-01-07) for prior art in that area. Then
again maybe not, see [2].
* We now skip a test in t0000-basic.sh under
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease that wasn't skipped before. This
test relies on C locale output, but due to an edge case in how the
previous implementation of GETTEXT_POISON worked (reading it from
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS) wasn't enabling poison correctly. Now it does,
and needs to be skipped.
* The getenv() function is not reentrant, so out of paranoia about
code of the form:
printf(_("%s"), getenv("some-env"));
call use_gettext_poison() in our early setup in git_setup_gettext()
so we populate the "poison_requested" variable in a codepath that's
won't suffer from that race condition.
* We error out in the Makefile if you're still saying
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease to prompt users to change their
invocation.
* We should not print out poisoned messages during the test
initialization itself to keep it more readable, so the test library
hides the variable if set in $GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON_ORIG during
setup. See [3].
See also [4] for more on the motivation behind this patch, and the
history of the GETTEXT_POISON facility.

A test prerequisite defined by various test scripts with slightly
different semantics has been consolidated into a single copy and
made into a lazily defined one.
* wc/make-funnynames-shared-lazy-prereq:
t: factor out FUNNYNAMES as shared lazy prereq
A fair number of tests need to check that the filesystem supports file
names including "funny" characters, like newline, tab, and double-quote.
Jonathan Nieder suggested that this be extracted into a lazy prereq in
the top-level `test-lib.sh`. This patch effects that change.
The FUNNYNAMES prereq now uniformly requires support for newlines, tabs,
and double-quotes in filenames. This very slightly decreases the power
of some tests, which might have run previously on a system that supports
(e.g.) newlines and tabs but not double-quotes, but now will not. This
seems to me like an acceptable tradeoff for consistency.
One test (`t/t9902-completion.sh`) defined FUNNYNAMES to further require
the separators \034 through \037, the test for which was implemented
using the Bash-specific $'\034' syntax. I've elected to leave this one
as is, renaming it to FUNNIERNAMES.
After this patch, `git grep 'test_\(set\|lazy\)_prereq.*FUNNYNAMES'` has
only one result.

Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various
pieces of data required for command line completion, the codebase
has been taught to enumerate options prefixed with "--no-" to
negate them.
* nd/completion-negation:
completion: collapse extra --no-.. options
completion: suppress some -no- options
parse-options: option to let --git-completion-helper show negative form
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

Quite a many tests assumed that newly created refs are made as
loose refs using the files backend, which have been updated to use
proper plumbing like rev-parse and update-ref, to avoid breakage
once we start using different ref backends.
* cc/tests-without-assuming-ref-files-backend:
t990X: use '.git/objects' as 'deep inside .git' path
t: make many tests depend less on the refs being files
The list of commands with their various attributes were spread
across a few places in the build procedure, but it now is getting a
bit more consolidated to allow more automation.
* nd/command-list:
completion: allow to customize the completable command list
completion: add and use --list-cmds=alias
completion: add and use --list-cmds=nohelpers
Move declaration for alias.c to alias.h
completion: reduce completable command list
completion: let git provide the completable command list
command-list.txt: documentation and guide line
help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides
help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsis
git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>
completion: implement and use --list-cmds=main,others
git --list-cmds: collect command list in a string_list
git.c: convert --list-* to --list-cmds=*
Remove common-cmds.h
help: use command-list.h for common command list
generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h
generate-cmds.sh: factor out synopsis extract code
Tests t9902-completion.sh and t9903-bash-prompt.sh each have tests
that check what happens when we are "in the '.git' directory" and
when we are "deep inside the '.git' directory".
To test the case when we are "deep inside the '.git' directory" the
test scripts used to perform a `cd .git/refs/heads`.
As there are plans to implement other ref storage systems, let's
use '.git/objects' instead of '.git/refs/heads' as the "deep inside
the '.git' directory" path.
This makes it clear to readers that these tests do not depend on
which ref backend is used.
The internals of the loose refs backend are still tested in
t1400-update-ref.sh.

Most --no- options do have some use, even if rarely to negate some
option that's specified in an alias.
These options --no-ours and --no-theirs however have no clear
semantics. If I specify "--ours --no-theirs", the second will reset
writeout stage and is equivalent of "--no-ours --no-theirs" which is
not that easy to see. Drop them. You can either switch from --ours to
--theirs and back but you can never negate them.

When 7fb6aefd2a (Merge branch 'nd/parseopt-completion' - 2018-03-14)
is merged, the completion for negative form is left out because the
series is alread long and it could be done in a follow up series. This
is it.
--git-completion-helper now provides --no-xxx so that git-completion.bash
can drop the extra custom --no-xxx in the script. It adds a lot more
--no-xxx than what's current provided by the git-completion.bash
script. We'll trim that down later.

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
man page for external commands anyway.

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.

The tests added in 2f271cd9cf (t9902-completion: add tests
demonstrating issues with quoted pathnames, 2018-05-08) and in
2ab6eab4fe (completion: improve handling quoted paths in 'git
ls-files's output, 2018-03-28) have a few shortcomings:
- All these tests use the 'test_completion' helper function, thus
they are exercising the whole completion machinery, although they
are only interested in how git-aware path completion, specifically
the __git_complete_index_file() function deals with unusual
characters in pathnames and on the command line.
- These tests can't satisfactorily test the case of pathnames
containing spaces, because 'test_completion' gets the words on the
command line as a single argument and it uses space as word
separator.
- Some of the tests are protected by different FUNNYNAMES_* prereqs
depending on whether they put backslashes and double quotes or
separator characters (FS, GS, RS, US) in pathnames, although a
filesystem not allowing one likely doesn't allow the others
either.
- One of the tests operates on paths containing '|' and '&'
characters without being protected by a FUNNYNAMES prereq, but
some filesystems (notably on Windows) don't allow these characters
in pathnames, either.
Replace these tests with basically equivalent, more focused tests that
call __git_complete_index_file() directly. Since this function only
looks at the current word to be completed, i.e. the $cur variable, we
can easily include pathnames containing spaces in the tests, so use
such pathnames instead of pathnames containing '|' and '&'. Finally,
use only a single FUNNYNAMES prereq for all kinds of special
characters.

If any pathname contains backslash, double quote, tab, newline, or any
control characters, 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' will enclose
that pathname in double quotes and escape those special characters
using C-style one-character escape sequences or \nnn octal values.
This prevents those files from being listed during git-aware path
completion, because due to the quoting they will never match the
current word to be completed.
Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script to remove all that quoting
and escaping from unique path components, so even paths containing
(almost all) such special characters can be completed.
Paths containing newline characters are still an issue, though. We
use newlines as separator character when filling the COMPREPLY array,
so a path with one or more newline will end up split to two or more
elements in COMPREPLY, basically breaking completion. There is
nothing we can do about it without a significant performance hit, so
let's just ignore such paths for now. As far as paths with newlines
are concerned, this isn't any different from the previous behavior,
because those paths were always omitted, though in the past they were
omitted because due to the quoting they didn't match the current word
to be completed. Anyway, Bash's own filename completion (Meta-/) can
complete even those paths, if need be.
Note:
- We don't dequote path components right away as they are coming in,
because then we would have to dequote each directory name
repeatedly, as many times as it appears in the input, i.e. as many
times as the number of listed paths it contains. Instead, we
dequote them at the end, as we print unique path components.
- Even when a directory name itself does not contain any special
characters, it will still be quoted if any of its trailing path
components do. If a directory contains paths both with and
without special characters, then the name of that directory will
appear both quoted and unquoted in the output of 'git ls-files'
and 'git diff-index'. Consequently, we will add such a directory
name to the deduplicating associative array twice: once quoted and
once unquoted.
This means that we have to be careful after dequoting a directory
name, and only print it if we haven't seen the same directory name
unquoted.
- It would be wonderful if we could just pass '-z' to those git
commands to output \0-separated unquoted paths, and use \0 as
record separator in the 'awk' script processing their output...
this patch would be so much simpler, almost trivial even.
Unfortunately, however, POSIX and most 'awk' implementations don't
support \0 as record separator (GNU awk does support it).
- This patch makes the earlier change to list paths with
'core.quotePath=false' basically redundant, because this could
decode any \nnn-escaped non-ASCII character just fine, as well.
However, I suspect that 'git ls-files' can deal with those
non-ASCII characters faster than this updated 'awk' script; just
in case someone is burdened with tons of pathnames containing
non-ASCII characters.

The order or possible completion words in the COMPREPLY array doesn't
actually matter, as long as all the right words are in there, because
Bash will sort them anyway. Yet, our tests looking at the elements of
COMPREPLY always expect them to be in a specific order.
Now, this hasn't been an issue before, but the next patch is about to
optimize a bit more our git-aware path completion, and as a harmless
side effect the order of elements in COMPREPLY will change. Worse,
the order will be downright undefined, because after the next patch
path components will come directly from iterating through an
associative array in 'awk', and the order of iteration over the
elements in those arrays is undefined, and indeed different 'awk'
implementations produce different order. Consequently, we can't get
away with simply adjusting the expected results in the affected tests.
Modify the 'test_completion' helper function to sort both the expected
and the actual results, i.e. the elements in COMPREPLY, before
comparing them, so the tests using this helper function will work
regardless of the order of elements.
Note that this change still leaves a bunch of tests depending on the
order of elements in COMPREPLY, tests that focus on a specific helper
function and therefore don't use the 'test_completion' helper. I
would rather deal with those later, when (if ever) the need actually
arises, than create unnecessary code churn now.
