Denton Liu 6131807864 git-completion.bash: use __gitcomp_builtin() in _git_stash()
The completion for 'git stash' has not changed in a major way since it
was converted from shell script to builtin. Now that it's a builtin, we
can take advantage of the groundwork laid out by parse-options and use
the generated options.

Rewrite _git_stash() to take use __gitcomp_builtin() to generate
completions for subcommands.

The main `git stash` command does not take any arguments directly. If no
subcommand is given, it automatically defaults to `git stash push`. This
means that we can simplify the logic for when no subcommands have been
given yet. We only have to offer subcommand completions when we're
completing a non-option after "stash".

One area that this patch could improve upon is that the `git stash list`
command accepts log-options. It would be nice if the completion for this
were unified with that of _git_log() and _git_show() which would allow
completions to be provided for options such as `--pretty` but that is
outside the scope of this patch.

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.
