Current completion for the --track option of git switch and git checkout is sub par. In addition to the DWIM logic of a bare branch name, --track has DWIM logic to convert specified remote/branch names into a local branch tracking that remote. For example $git switch --track origin/master This will create a local branch name master, that tracks the master branch of the origin remote. In fact, git switch --track on its own will not accept other forms of references. These must instead be specified manually via the -c/-C/-b/-B options. Introduce __git_remote_heads() and the "remote-heads" mode for __git_complete_refs. Use this when the --track option is provided while completing in _git_switch and _git_checkout. Just as in the --detach case, we never enable DWIM mode for --track, because it doesn't make sense. It should be noted that completion support is still a bit sub par when it comes to handling -c/-C and --orphan. This will be resolved in a future change.

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
