In __gitcomp_file_direct() we tell Bash that it should handle our
possible completion words as filenames with the following piece of
cleverness:
# use a hack to enable file mode in bash < 4
compopt -o filenames +o nospace 2>/dev/null ||
compgen -f /non-existing-dir/ > /dev/null
Unfortunately, this makes this function always return with error
when it is not invoked in real completion, but e.g. in tests of
't9902-completion.sh':
- First the 'compopt' line errors out
- either because in Bash v3.x there is no such command,
- or because in Bash v4.x it complains about "not currently
executing completion function",
- then 'compgen' just silently returns with error because of the
non-existing directory.
Since __gitcomp_file_direct() is now the last command executed in
__git_complete_index_file(), that function returns with error as well,
which prevents it from being invoked in tests directly as is, and
would require extra steps in test to hide its error code.
So let's make sure that __gitcomp_file_direct() doesn't return with
error, because in the tests coming in the following patch we do want
to exercise __git_complete_index_file() directly,
__gitcomp_file() contains the same construct, and thus it, too, always
returns with error. Update that function accordingly as well.
While at it, also remove the space from between the redirection
operator and the filename in both functions.

During git-aware path completion, when a lot of path components have
to be listed, a significant amount of time is spent in
__gitcomp_file(), or more accurately in the shell loop of
__gitcompappend(), iterating over all the path components filtering
path components matching the current word to be completed, adding
prefix path components, and placing the resulting matching paths into
the COMPREPLY array.
Now, a previous patch in this series made 'git ls-files' and 'git
diff-index' list only paths matching the current word to be completed,
so an additional filtering in __gitcomp_file() is not necessary
anymore. Adding the prefix path components could be done much more
efficiently in __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script while stripping
trailing path components and removing duplicates and quoting. And
then the resulting paths won't require any more filtering or
processing before being handed over to Bash, so we could fill the
COMPREPLY array directly.
Unfortunately, we can't simply use the __gitcomp_direct() helper
function to do that, because __gitcomp_file() does one additional
thing: it tells Bash that we are doing filename completion, so the
shell will kindly do four important things for us:
1. Append a trailing space to all filenames.
2. Append a trailing '/' to all directory names.
3. Escape any meta, globbing, separator, etc. characters.
4. List only the current path component when listing possible
completions (i.e. 'dir/subdir/f<TAB>' will list 'file1', 'file2',
etc. instead of the whole 'dir/subdir/file1',
'dir/subdir/file2').
While we could let __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script take care of the
first two points, the third one gets tricky, and we absolutely need
the shell's support for the fourth.
Add the helper function __gitcomp_file_direct(), which, just like
__gitcomp_direct(), fills the COMPREPLY array with prefiltered and
preprocessed paths without any additional processing, without a shell
loop, with just one single compound assignment, and, similar to
__gitcomp_file(), tells Bash and ZSH that we are doing filename
completion. Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script a bit to
prepend any prefix path components to all listed paths. Finally,
modify __git_complete_index_file() to feed __git_index_files()'s
output to ___gitcomp_file_direct() instead of __gitcomp_file().
After this patch there is no shell loop left in the path completion
code path.
This speeds up path completion when there are a lot of paths matching
the current word to be completed. In a pathological repository with
100k files in a single directory, listing all those files:

real 0m2.736s
user 0m2.472s
sys 0m0.610s
Difference: -88.6%
Speedup: 8.7x
Note that this patch changes the output of the __git_index_files()
helper function by unconditionally prepending the prefix path
components to every listed path. This would break users' completion
scriptlets that directly run:
__gitcomp_file "$(__git_index_files ...)" "$pfx" "$cur_"
because that would add the prefix path components once more.
However, __git_index_files() is kind of a "helper function of a helper
function", and users' completion scriptlets should have been using
__git_complete_index_file() for git-aware path completion in the first
place, so this is likely doesn't worth worrying about.

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.

During git-aware path completion, after all the trailing path
components have been removed from the output of 'git ls-files' and
'git diff-index' (see previous patch), each directory name is repeated
as many times as the number of listed paths it contains. This can be
a lot of repetitions, especially when invoking path completion close
to the root of a big worktree, which would cause a considerable
overhead downstream of __git_index_files(), in particular in the shell
loop that fills the COMPREPLY array. To reduce this overhead,
__git_index_files() runs the classic '... |sort |uniq' pattern to
remove those repetitions from the function's output.
While removing repeated directory names is effective in reducing the
number of iterations in that shell loop, it still imposes the overhead
of fork()+exec()ing two external processes, and two additional stages
in the pipeline, where potentially relatively large amount of data can
be passed between two subsequent pipeline stages.
Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script to remove repeated path
components by first creating and filling an associative array indexed
by all encountered path components (after the trailing path components
have been removed), and then iterating over this array and printing
the indices, i.e. unique path components. This way we can remove the
'|sort |uniq' pipeline stages, and their eliminated overhead results
in faster path completion.

Note that this changes order of elements in __git_index_files()'s
output. This is not an issue, because this function was only ever
intended to feed paths into the COMPREPLY array, and Bash will sort
its elements (according to the users locale) anyway.
Note also that using 'awk' to remove repeated path components is also
beneficial for the performance of the next two patches:
- The first will extend this 'awk' script to dequote quoted paths in
the output of 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index'. With this
patch it will only have to dequote unique path components, not
all.
- The second will, among other things, extend this 'awk' script to
prepend prefix path components from the command line to the
currently completed path component. Consequently, each line in
'awk's output will grow longer. Without this patch that '|sort
|uniq' would have to exchange and process that much more data.

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.

During git-aware path completion we complete one path component at a
time, i.e. 'git add <TAB>' offers only 'dir/' at first, not
'dir/subdir/file' right away, just like Bash's own filename
completion. However, since both 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index'
dive deep into subdirectories, we have to strip all trailing path
components from the listed paths, keeping only the leading path
component. This stripping is currently done in a shell loop in
__git_index_files(), which can take a significant amount of time when
it has to iterate through a large number of paths.
Replace this shell loop with a little 'awk' script using '/' as input
field separator and printing the first field, which produces the same
output much faster.

During git-aware path completion, e.g. 'git rm dir/fil<TAB>', both
'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' list all paths in the given 'dir/'
matching certain criteria (cached, modified, untracked, etc.)
appropriate for the given git command, even paths whose names don't
begin with 'fil'. This comes with a considerable performance
penalty when the directory in question contains a lot of paths, but
the current word can be uniquely completed or when only a handful of
those paths match the current word.
Reduce the number of iterations in this codepath from the number of
paths to the number of matching paths by specifying an appropriate
globbing pattern to 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' to list only
paths that match the current word to be completed.
Note that both commands treat backslashes as escape characters in
their file arguments, e.g. to preserve the literal meaning of globbing
characters, so we have to double every backslash in the globbing
pattern. This is why one of the path completion tests specifically
checks the completion of a path containing a literal backslash
character (that test still fails, though, because both commands output
such paths enclosed in double quotes and the special characters
escaped; a later patch in this series will deal with those).
This speeds up path completion considerably when there are a lot of
non-matching paths to be filtered out. Uniquely completing a tracked

Our git-aware path completion doesn't work when it has to complete a
word already containing quoted and/or backslash-escaped characters on
the command line. The root cause of the issue is that completion
functions see all words on the command line verbatim, i.e. including
all backslash, single and double quote characters that the shell would
eventually remove when executing the finished command. These
quoting/escaping characters cause different issues depending on which
path component of the word to be completed contains them:
- The quoting/escaping is in the prefix path component(s).
Let's suppose we have a directory called 'New Dir', containing two
untracked files 'file.c' and 'file.o', and we have a gitignore
rule ignoring object files. In this case all of these:
git add New\ Dir/<TAB>
git add "New Dir/<TAB>
git add 'New Dir/<TAB>
should uniquely complete 'file.c' right away, but Bash offers both
'file.c' and 'file.o' instead. The reason for this behavior is
that our completion script uses the prefix directory name like
'git -C "New\ Dir/" ls-files ...", i.e. with the backslash inside
double quotes. Git then tries to enter a directory called
'New\ Dir', which (most likely) fails because such a directory
doesn't exists. As a result our completion script doesn't list
any files, leaves the COMPREPLY array empty, which in turn causes
Bash to fall back to its simple filename completion and lists all
files in that directory, i.e. both 'file.c' and 'file.o'.
- The quoting/escaping is in the path component to be completed.
Let's suppose we have two untracked files 'New File.c' and
'New File.o', and we have a gitignore rule ignoring object files.
In this case all of these:
git add New\ Fi<TAB>
git add "New Fi<TAB>
git add 'New Fi<TAB>
should uniquely complete 'New File.c' right away, but Bash offers
both 'New File.c' and 'New File.o' instead. The reason for this
behavior is that our completion script uses this 'New\ Fi' or
'"New Fi' etc. word to filter matching paths, and of course none
of the potential filenames will match because of the included
backslash or double quote. The end result is the same as above:
the completion script doesn't list any files, Bash falls back to
its filename completion, which then lists the matching object file
as well.
Add the new helper function __git_dequote() [1], which removes (most
of[2]) the quoting and escaping from the word it gets as argument. To
minimize the overhead of calling this function, store its result in
the variable $dequoted_word, supposed to be declared local in the
caller; simply printing the result would require a command
substitution imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell. Use this
function in __git_complete_index_file() to dequote the current word,
i.e. the path, to be completed, to avoid the above described
quoting-related issues, thereby fixing two of the failing quoted path
completion tests.
[1] The bash-completion project already has a dequote() function,
which I hoped I could borrow to deal with this, but unfortunately
it doesn't work quite well for this purpose (perhaps that's why
even the bash-completion project only rarely uses it). The main
issue is that their dequote() is implemented as:
eval printf %s "$1" 2> /dev/null
where $1 would contain the word to be completed. While it's a
short and sweet one-liner, the use of 'eval' requires that $1 is a
syntactically valid string, which is not the case when quoting the
path like 'git add "New Dir/<TAB>'. This causes 'eval' to fail,
because it can't find the matching closing double quote, and the
function returns nothing. The result is totally broken behavior,
as if the current word were empty, and the completion script would
then list all files from the current directory. This is why one
of the quoted path completion tests specifically checks the
completion of a path with an opening but without a corresponding
closing double quote character. Furthermore, the 'eval' performs
all kinds of expansions, which may or may not be desired; I think
it's the latter. Finally, using this function would require a
command substitution.
[2] Bash understands the $'string' quoting as well, which "expands to
'string', with backslash-escaped characters replaced as specified
by the ANSI C standard" (quoted from Bash manpage). Since shell
metacharacters, field separators, globbing, etc. can all be easily
entered using standard shell escaping or quoting, this type of
quoting comes in handly when dealing with control characters that
are otherwise difficult both to "type" and to see on the command
line. Because of this difficulty I would assume that people do
avoid pathnames with such control characters anyway, so I didn't
bother implementing it. This function is already way too long as
it is.

Unless the user has 'core.quotePath=false' somewhere in the
configuration, both 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' will by
default quote any pathnames that contain bytes with values higher than
0x80, and escape those bytes as '\nnn' octal values. This prevents
completing paths when the current path component to be completed
contains any non-ASCII, most notably UTF-8, characters, because none
of the listed quoted paths will match the current word on the command
line.
Set 'core.quotePath=false' for those 'git ls-files' and 'git
diff-index' invocations, so they won't consider bytes higher than 0x80
as "unusual", and won't quote pathnames containing such characters.

"git tag --contains no-such-commit" gave a full list of options
after giving an error message.
* ps/contains-id-error-message:
parse-options: do not show usage upon invalid option value
"git stash push -u -- <pathspec>" gave an unnecessary and confusing
error message when there was no tracked files that match the
<pathspec>, which has been fixed.
* tg/stash-untracked-with-pathspec-fix:
stash: drop superfluos pathspec parameter
stash push -u: don't create empty stash
stash push: avoid printing errors
stash: fix nonsense pipeline
The way "git worktree prune" worked internally has been simplified,
by assuming how "git worktree move" moves an existing worktree to a
different place.
* nd/worktree-prune:
worktree prune: improve prune logic when worktree is moved
worktree: delete dead code
gc.txt: more details about what gc does

"git shortlog cruft" aborted with a BUG message when run outside a
Git repository. The command has been taught to complain about
extra and unwanted arguments on its command line instead in such a
case.
* ma/shortlog-revparse:
shortlog: disallow left-over arguments outside repo
shortlog: add usage-string for stdin-reading
git-shortlog.txt: reorder usages
The build procedure learned to optionally use symbolic links
(instead of hardlinks and copies) to install "git-foo" for built-in
commands, whose binaries are all identical.
* ab/install-symlinks:
Makefile: optionally symlink libexec/git-core binaries to bin/git
Makefile: add a gitexecdir_relative variable
Makefile: fix broken bindir_relative variable
"git filter-branch" learned to use a different exit code to allow
the callers to tell the case where there was no new commits to
rewrite from other error cases.
* ml/filter-branch-no-op-error:
filter-branch: return 2 when nothing to rewrite
Git can be built to use either v1 or v2 of the PCRE library, and so
far, the build-time configuration USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease instructed
the build procedure to use v1, but now it means v2. USE_LIBPCRE1
and USE_LIBPCRE2 can be used to explicitly choose which version to
use, as before.
* ab/pcre-v2:
Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1
configure: detect redundant --with-libpcre & --with-libpcre1
configure: fix a regression in PCRE v1 detection
A "git fetch" from a repository with insane number of refs into a
repository that is already up-to-date still wasted too many cycles
making many lstat(2) calls to see if these objects at the tips
exist as loose objects locally. These lstat(2) calls are optimized
away by enumerating all loose objects beforehand.
It is unknown if the new strategy negatively affects existing use
cases, fetching into a repository with many loose objects from a
repository with small number of refs.
* ti/fetch-everything-local-optim:
fetch-pack.c: use oidset to check existence of loose object
Rename detection logic in "diff" family that is used in "merge" has
learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a,
z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also
want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory
'x' moved to 'z'. A bug causing dirty files involved in a rename
to be overwritten during merge has also been fixed as part of this
work.
* en/rename-directory-detection: (29 commits)
merge-recursive: ensure we write updates for directory-renamed file
merge-recursive: avoid spurious rename/rename conflict from dir renames
directory rename detection: new testcases showcasing a pair of bugs
merge-recursive: fix remaining directory rename + dirty overwrite cases

merge-recursive: avoid clobbering untracked files with directory renames
merge-recursive: apply necessary modifications for directory renames
merge-recursive: when comparing files, don't include trees
merge-recursive: check for file level conflicts then get new name
merge-recursive: add computation of collisions due to dir rename & merging
merge-recursive: check for directory level conflicts
merge-recursive: add get_directory_renames()
merge-recursive: make a helper function for cleanup for handle_renames
merge-recursive: split out code for determining diff_filepairs
merge-recursive: make !o->detect_rename codepath more obvious
merge-recursive: fix leaks of allocated renames and diff_filepairs
merge-recursive: introduce new functions to handle rename logic
merge-recursive: move the get_renames() function
directory rename detection: tests for handling overwriting dirty files
directory rename detection: tests for handling overwriting untracked files

The email address in --authors-file and --authors-prog can be empty but
git-svn translated it into a fictional email address in the form
jondoe <jondoe@6aafaa21e0fb4338a68ab372a049893d>
containing the SVN repository UUID. Now git-svn behaves like git-commit:
If the email is *explicitly* set to the empty string using '<>', the
commit does not contain an email address, only the name:
jondoe <>
Allowing to remove the email address *intentionally* prevents automatic
systems from sending emails to those fictional addresses and avoids
cluttering the log output with unnecessary stuff.

In 36db1eddf9 ("git-svn: add --authors-prog option", 2009-05-14) the path
to authors-prog was made absolute because git-svn changes the current
directory in some situations. This makes sense if the program is part of
the repository but prevents searching via $PATH.
The old behaviour is still retained, but if the file does not exists, then
authors-prog is searched for in $PATH as any other command.
