The cleanup of old compat wrappers in bash completion caused a
regression on tcsh completion that still uses them.
Let's update the tcsh call site as well for addressing it.

tcsh users who happen to have 'set noclobber' elsewhere in their
~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc startup files get a 'File exist' error, and
the tcsh completion file doesn't get generated/updated.
Adding a `!` in the redirect works correctly for both clobber (default)
and 'set noclobber' users.

In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

The "complete with known paths only" update to completion scripts
returns directory names without trailing slash to compensate the
addition of '/' done by bash that reads from our completion result.
tcsh completion code that reads from our internal completion result
does not add '/', so let it ask our complletion code to keep the '/'
at the end.

completion: handle path completion and colon for tcsh script
Recent enhancements to git-completion.bash provide intelligent path
completion for git commands. Such completions do not provide the
'/' at the end of directories for recent versions of bash; instead,
bash itself will add the trailing slash to directories to the result
provided by git-completion.bash. However, the completion for tcsh
uses the result of the bash completion script directly, so it either
needs to add the necessary slash itself, or needs to ask the bash
script to keep the trailing slash.
Adding the slash itself is difficult because we have to check the
each path in the output of the bash script to see if it is meant to
be a directory or something else. For example, assuming there is a
directory named 'commit' in the current directory, then, when
completing
git add commit<tab>
we would need to add a slash, but for
git help commit<tab>
we should not.
Figuring out such differences would require adding much intelligence
to the tcsh completion script. Instead, it is simpler to ask the
bash script to keep the trailing slash. This patch does this.
Also, tcsh does not handle the colon as a completion separator so we
remove it from the list of separators.

If git-completion.bash returns a single directory as a completion,
tcsh will automatically add a space after it, which is not what the
user wants.
This commit prevents tcsh from doing this.
Also, a check is added to make sure the tcsh version used is recent
enough to allow completion to work as expected.

For bash completion, the option '-o bashdefault' is used to indicate
that when no other choices are available, file completion should be
performed. Since this option is not available in tcsh, no file
completion is ever performed. Therefore, commands like 'git add ',
'git send-email ', etc, require the user to manually type out
the file name. This can be quite annoying.
To improve the user experience we try to simulate file completion
directly in this script (although not perfectly).
The known issues with the file completion simulation are:
- Possible completions are shown with their directory prefix.
- Completions containing shell variables are not handled.
- Completions with ~ as the first character are not handled.

tcsh users sometimes alias the 'git' command to another name. In
this case, the user expects to only have to issue a new 'complete'
command using the alias name.
However, the tcsh script currently uses the command typed by the
user to call the appropriate function in git-completion.bash, either
_git() or _gitk(). When using an alias, this technique no longer
works.
This change specifies the real name of the command (either 'git' or
'gitk') as a parameter to the script handling tcsh completion. This
allows the user to use any alias for the 'git' or 'gitk' commands,
while still getting completion to work.
A check for the presence of ${HOME}/.git-completion.bash is also
added to help the user make use of the script properly.

The current tcsh-completion support for Git, as can be found on the
Internet, takes the approach of defining the possible completions
explicitly. This has the obvious draw-back to require constant
updating as the Git code base evolves.
The approach taken by this commit is to to re-use the advanced bash
completion script and use its result for tcsh completion. This is
achieved by sourcing the bash script and outputting the completion
result for tcsh consumption.
Three solutions were looked at to implement this approach with (C)
being retained:
A) Modifications:
git-completion.bash and new git-completion.tcsh
Modify the existing git-completion.bash script to support
being sourced using bash (as now), but also executed using bash.
When being executed, the script will output the result of the
computed completion to be re-used elsewhere (e.g., in tcsh).
The modification to git-completion.bash is made not to be
tcsh-specific, but to allow future users to also re-use its
output. Therefore, to be general, git-completion.bash accepts a
second optional parameter, which is not used by tcsh, but could
prove useful for other users.
Pros:
1- allows the git-completion.bash script to easily be re-used
2- tcsh support is mostly isolated in git-completion.tcsh
Cons (for tcsh users only):
1- requires the user to copy both git-completion.tcsh and
git-completion.bash to ${HOME}
2- requires bash script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash
B) Modifications:
git-completion.bash
Modify the existing git-completion.bash script to support
being sourced using bash (as now), but also executed using bash,
and sourced using tcsh.
Pros:
1- only requires the user to deal with a single file
2- maintenance more obvious for tcsh since it is entirely part
of the same git-completion.bash script.
Cons:
1- tcsh support could affect bash support as they share the
same script
2- small tcsh section must use syntax suitable for both tcsh
and bash and must be at the beginning of the script
3- requires script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.sh (for tcsh users only)
C) Modifications:
New git-completion.tcsh
Provide a short tcsh script that generates another script
which extends git-completion.bash. This new script can be
used by tcsh to perform completion.
Pros:
1- tcsh support is entirely isolated in git-completion.tcsh
2- new tcsh script can be as complex as needed
Cons (for tcsh users only):
1- requires the user to copy both git-completion.tcsh and
git-completion.bash to ${HOME}
2- requires bash script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash
3- sourcing the new script will generate a third script
Approach (C) was selected avoid any modification to git-completion.bash.
