Command completion only recognizes a subset of the available options for
the various git commands. The set of recognized options needs to balance
between having all useful options and to not clutter the terminal.
This commit adds all long-options that are mentioned in the man-page
synopsis of the respective git command. Possibly dangerous options are
not included in this set, to avoid accidental data loss. The added

After the previous changes in this series there are only a handful of
$(__gitdir) command substitutions left in the completion script, but
there is still a bit of room for improvements:
1. The command substitution involves the forking of a subshell,
which has considerable overhead on some platforms.
2. There are a few cases, where this command substitution is
executed more than once during a single completion, which means
multiple subshells and possibly multiple 'git rev-parse'
executions. __gitdir() is invoked twice while completing refs
for e.g. 'git log', 'git rebase', 'gitk', or while completing
remote refs for 'git fetch' or 'git push'.
Both of these points can be addressed by using the
__git_find_repo_path() helper function introduced in the previous
commit:
1. __git_find_repo_path() stores the path to the repository in a
variable instead of printing it, so the command substitution
around the function can be avoided. Or rather: the command
substitution should be avoided to make the new value of the
variable set inside the function visible to the callers.
(Yes, there is now a command substitution inside
__git_find_repo_path() around each 'git rev-parse', but that's
executed only if necessary, and only once per completion, see
point 2. below.)
2. $__git_repo_path, the variable holding the path to the
repository, is declared local in the toplevel completion
functions __git_main() and __gitk_main(). Thus, once set, the
path is visible in all completion functions, including all
subsequent calls to __git_find_repo_path(), meaning that they
wouldn't have to re-discover the path to the repository.
So call __git_find_repo_path() and use $__git_repo_path instead of the
$(__gitdir) command substitution to access paths in the .git
directory. Turn tests checking __gitdir()'s repository discovery into
tests of __git_find_repo_path() such that only the tested function
changes but the expected results don't, ensuring that repo discovery
keeps working as it did before.
As __gitdir() is not used anymore in the completion script, mark it as
deprecated and direct users' attention to __git_find_repo_path() and
$__git_repo_path. Yet keep four __gitdir() tests to ensure that it
handles success and failure of __git_find_repo_path() and that it
still handles its optional remote argument, because users' custom
completion scriptlets might depend on it.

completion: extract repository discovery from __gitdir()
To prepare for caching the path to the repository in the following
commit, extract the repository discovering part of __gitdir() into the
__git_find_repo_path() helper function, which stores the found path in
the $__git_repo_path variable instead of printing it. Make __gitdir()
a wrapper around this new function. Declare $__git_repo_path local in
the toplevel completion functions __git_main() and __gitk_main() to
ensure that it never leaks into the environment and influences
subsequent completions (though this isn't necessary right now, as
__gitdir() is still only executed in subshells, but will matter for
the following commit).
Adjust tests checking __gitdir() or any other completion function
calling __gitdir() to perform those checks in a subshell to prevent
$__git_repo_path from leaking into the test environment. Otherwise
leave the tests unchanged to demonstrate that this change doesn't
alter __gitdir()'s behavior.

completion: don't guard git executions with __gitdir()
Three completion functions, namely __git_index_files(), __git_heads()
and __git_tags(), first run __gitdir() and check that the path it
outputs exists, i.e. that there is a git repository, and run a git
command only if there is one.
After the previous changes in this series there are no further uses of
__gitdir()'s output in these functions besides those checks. And
those checks are unnecessary, because we can just execute those git
commands outside of a repository and let them error out. We don't
perform such a check in other places either.
Remove this check and the __gitdir() call from these functions,
sparing the fork()+exec() overhead of the command substitution and the
potential 'git rev-parse' execution.

completion: consolidate silencing errors from git commands
Outputting error messages during completion is bad: they disrupt the
command line, can't be deleted, and the user is forced to Ctrl-C and
start over most of the time. We already silence stderr of many git
commands in our Bash completion script, but there are still some in
there that can spew error messages when something goes wrong.
We could add the missing stderr redirections to all the remaining
places, but instead let's leverage that git commands are now executed
through the previously introduced __git() wrapper function, and
redirect standard error to /dev/null only in that function. This way
we need only one redirection to take care of errors from almost all
git commands. Redirecting standard error of the __git() wrapper
function thus became redundant, remove them.
The exceptions, i.e. the repo-independent git executions and those in
the __gitdir() function that don't go through __git() already have
their standard error silenced.

Several completion functions contain the following pattern to run git
commands respecting the path to the repository specified on the
command line:
git --git-dir="$(__gitdir)" <cmd> <options>
This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell for the command
substitution and potentially fork()+exec()ing 'git rev-parse' inside
__gitdir().
Now, if neither '--gitdir=<path>' nor '-C <path>' options are
specified on the command line, then those git commands are perfectly
capable to discover the repository on their own. If either one or
both of those options are specified on the command line, then, again,
the git commands could discover the repository, if we pass them all of
those options from the command line.
This means we don't have to run __gitdir() at all for git commands and
can spare its fork()+exec() overhead.
Use Bash parameter expansions to check the $__git_dir variable and
$__git_C_args array and to assemble the appropriate '--git-dir=<path>'
and '-C <path>' options if either one or both are present on the
command line. These parameter expansions are, however, rather long,
so instead of changing all git executions and make already long lines
even longer, encapsulate running git with '--git-dir=<path> -C <path>'
options into the new __git() wrapper function. Furthermore, this
wrapper function will also enable us to silence error messages from
git commands uniformly in one place in a later commit.
There's one tricky case, though: in __git_refs() local refs are listed
with 'git for-each-ref', where "local" is not necessarily the
repository we are currently in, but it might mean a remote repository
in the filesystem (e.g. listing refs for 'git fetch /some/other/repo
<TAB>'). Use one-shot variable assignment to override $__git_dir with
the path of the repository where the refs should come from. Although
one-shot variable assignments in front of shell functions are to be
avoided in our scripts in general, in the Bash completion script we
can do that safely.

'git -C <path>' option(s) on the command line should be taken into
account during completion, because
- like '--git-dir=<path>', it can lead us to a different repository,
- a few git commands executed in the completion script do care about
in which directory they are executed, and
- the command for which we are providing completion might care about
in which directory it will be executed.
However, unlike '--git-dir=<path>', the '-C <path>' option can be
specified multiple times and their effect is cumulative, so we can't
just store a single '<path>' in a variable. Nor can we simply
concatenate a path from '-C <path1> -C <path2> ...', because e.g. (in
an arguably pathological corner case) a relative path might be
followed by an absolute path.
Instead, store all '-C <path>' options word by word in the
$__git_C_args array in the main git completion function, and pass this
array, if present, to 'git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir' when
discovering the repository in __gitdir(), and let it take care of
multiple options, relative paths, absolute paths and everything.
Also pass all '-C <path> options via the $__git_C_args array to those
git executions which require a worktree and for which it matters from
which directory they are executed from. There are only three such
cases:
- 'git diff-index' and 'git ls-files' in __git_ls_files_helper()
used for git-aware filename completion, and
- the 'git ls-tree' used for completing the 'ref:path' notation.
The other git commands executed in the completion script don't need
these '-C <path>' options, because __gitdir() already took those
options into account. It would not hurt them, either, but let's not
induce unnecessary code churn.

The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an
absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is
at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the
path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option
or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a
relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git
-C <path>' options might have led us.
This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git
wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to
the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any
path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative
path.
Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run
directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that
it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care
of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change
directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking
any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during
completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone
and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with
a relative path to the .git directory.
Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new
'--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized
absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is
discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git
--git-dir=<path>'.

The main completion function finds the name of the git command by
iterating through all the words on the command line in search for the
first non-option-looking word. As it is not aware of 'git -C's
mandatory path argument, if the '-C <path>' option is present, 'path'
will be the first such word and it will be mistaken for a git command.
This breaks completion in various ways:
- If 'path' happens to match one of the commands supported by the
completion script, then options of that command will be offered.
- If 'path' doesn't match a supported command and doesn't contain any
characters not allowed in Bash identifier names, then the
completion script does basically nothing and Bash in turn falls
back to filename completion for all subsequent words.
- Otherwise, if 'path' does contain such an unallowed character, then
it leads to a more or less ugly error message in the middle of the
command line. The standard '/' directory separator is such a
character, and it happens to trigger one of the uglier errors:
$ git -C some/path <TAB>sh.exe": declare: `_git_some/path': not a valid identifier
error: invalid key: alias.some/path
Fix this by skipping 'git -C's mandatory path argument while iterating
over the words on the command line. Extend the relevant test with
this case and, while at it, with cases that needed similar treatment
in the past ('--git-dir', '-c', '--work-tree' and '--namespace').
Additionally, silence the standard error of the 'declare' builtins
looking for the completion function associated with the git command
and of the 'git config' query for the aliased command. So if git ever
learns a new option with a mandatory argument in the future, then,
though the completion script will again misbehave, at least the
command line will not be utterly disrupted by those error messages.

completion: don't offer commands when 'git --opt' needs an argument

after them lists git commands.
Don't offer anything right after these options, thus let Bash fall

- the three options '--git-dir', '-C' and '--worktree' do actually
require a path argument, and
- we don't complete the required argument of '-c' and '--namespace',
and in that case the "standard" behavior of our completion script
is to not offer anything, but fall back to filename completion.

completion: list short refs from a remote given as a URL
e832f5c09680 (completion: avoid ls-remote in certain scenarios,
2013-05-28) turned a 'git ls-remote <remote>' query into a 'git
for-each-ref refs/remotes/<remote>/' to improve responsiveness of
remote refs completion by avoiding potential network communication.
However, it inadvertently made impossible to complete short refs from
a remote given as a URL, e.g. 'git fetch git://server.com/repo.git
<TAB>', because there is, of course, no such thing as
'refs/remotes/git://server.com/repo.git'.
Since the previous commit we tell apart configured remotes, i.e. those
that can have a hierarchy under 'refs/remotes/', from others that
don't, including remotes given as URL, so we know when we can't use
the faster 'git for-each-ref'-based approach.
Resurrect the old, pre-e832f5c09680 'git ls-remote'-based code for the
latter case to support listing short refs from remotes given as a URL.
The code is slightly updated from the original to
- take into account the path to the repository given on the command
line (if any), and
- omit 'ORIG_HEAD' from the query, as 'git ls-remote' will never
list it anyway.
When the remote given to __git_refs() doesn't exist, then it will be
handled by this resurrected 'git ls-remote' query. This code path
doesn't list 'HEAD' unconditionally, which has the nice side effect of
fixing two more expected test failures.

completion: list refs from remote when remote's name matches a directory
If the remote given to __git_refs() happens to match both the name of
a configured remote and the name of a directory in the current working
directory, then that directory is assumed to be a git repository, and
listing refs from that directory will be attempted. This is wrong,
because in such a situation git commands (e.g. 'git fetch|pull|push
<remote>' whom these refs will eventually be passed to) give
precedence to the configured remote. Therefore, __git_refs() should
list refs from the configured remote as well.
Add the helper function __git_is_configured_remote() that checks
whether its argument matches the name of a configured remote. Use
this helper to decide how to handle the remote passed to __git_refs().

completion: respect 'git --git-dir=<path>' when listing remote refs
In __git_refs() the git commands listing refs, both short and full,
from a given remote repository are run without giving them the path to
the git repository which might have been specified on the command line
via 'git --git-dir=<path>'. This is bad, those git commands should
access the 'refs/remotes/<remote>/' hierarchy or the remote and
credentials configuration in that specified repository.
Use the __gitdir() helper only to find the path to the .git directory
and pass the resulting path to the 'git ls-remote' and 'for-each-ref'
executions that list remote refs. While modifying that 'for-each-ref'
line, remove the superfluous disambiguating doubledash.
Don't use __gitdir() to check that the given remote is on the file
system: basically it performs only a single if statement for us at the
considerable cost of fork()ing a subshell for a command substitution.
We are better off to perform all the necessary checks of the remote in
__git_refs().
Though __git_refs() was the last remaining callsite that passed a
remote to __gitdir(), don't delete __gitdir()'s remote-handling part
yet, just in case some users' custom completion scriptlets depend on

config variable. Let's document that, and give a hint about
why it might be useful.
It's important not to say that it makes the item uncolored,
because it doesn't. It just sets no attributes, which means
that any previous attributes continue to take effect.

The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog'
option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates
configuration is explicitly set not to.
On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted
as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an
earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may
puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a
short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

Move the 'git_attr_set_direction()' up to be closer to the variables
that it modifies as well as a small formatting by renaming the variable
'new' to 'new_direction' so that it is more descriptive.
Update the comment about how 'direction' is used to read the state of
the world. It should be noted that callers of
'git_attr_set_direction()' should ensure that other threads are not
making calls into the attribute system until after the call to
'git_attr_set_direction()' completes. This function essentially acts as
reset button for the attribute system and should be handled with care.

attr: store attribute stack in attr_check structure
The last big hurdle towards a thread-safe API for the attribute system
is the reliance on a global attribute stack that is modified during each
call into the attribute system.
This patch removes this global stack and instead a stack is stored
locally in each attr_check instance. This opens up the opportunity for
future optimizations to customize the attribute stack for the attributes
that a particular attr_check struct is interested in.
One caveat with pushing the attribute stack into the attr_check
structure is that the attribute system now needs to keep track of all
active attr_check instances. Due to the direction mechanism the stack
needs to be dropped when the direction is switched. In order to ensure
correctness when the direction is changed the attribute system needs to
iterate through all active attr_check instances and drop each of their
stacks.

attr: remove maybe-real, maybe-macro from git_attr
Whether or not a git attribute is real or a macro isn't a property of
the attribute but rather it depends on the attribute stack (which
.gitattribute files were read).
This patch removes the 'maybe_real' and 'maybe_macro' fields in a
git_attr and instead adds the 'macro' field to a attr_check_item. The
'macro' indicates (if non-NULL) that a particular attribute is a macro
for the given attribute stack. It's populated, through a quick scan of
the attribute stack, with the match_attr that corresponds to the macro's
definition. This way the attribute stack only needs to be scanned a
single time prior to attribute collection instead of each time a macro
needs to be expanded.

Currently there is a reliance on 'check_all_attr' which is a global
array of 'attr_check_item' items which is used to store the value of
each attribute during the collection process.
This patch eliminates this global and instead creates an array per
'attr_check' instance which is then used in the attribute collection
process. This brings the attribute system one step closer to being
thread-safe.

attr: convert git_all_attrs() to use "struct attr_check"
This updates the other two ways the attribute check is done via an
array of "struct attr_check_item" elements. These two niches
appear only in "git check-attr".
* The caller does not know offhand what attributes it wants to ask
about and cannot use attr_check_initl() to prepare the
attr_check structure.
* The caller may not know what attributes it wants to ask at all,
and instead wants to learn everything that the given path has.
Such a caller can call attr_check_alloc() to allocate an empty
attr_check, and then call attr_check_append() to add attribute names
one by one.

attr: (re)introduce git_check_attr() and struct attr_check
A common pattern to check N attributes for many paths is to
(1) prepare an array A of N attr_check_item items;
(2) call git_attr() to intern the N attribute names and fill A;
(3) repeatedly call git_check_attrs() for path with N and A;
A look-up for these N attributes for a single path P scans the
entire attr_stack, starting from the .git/info/attributes file and
then .gitattributes file in the directory the path P is in, going
upwards to find .gitattributes file found in parent directories.
An earlier commit 06a604e6 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the
specified attr is not defined, 2014-12-28) tried to optimize out
this scanning for one trivial special case: when the attribute being
sought is known not to exist, we do not have to scan for it. While
this may be a cheap and effective heuristic, it would not work well
when N is (much) more than 1.
What we would want is a more customized way to skip irrelevant
entries in the attribute stack, and the definition of irrelevance
is tied to the set of attributes passed to git_check_attrs() call,
i.e. the set of attributes being sought. The data necessary for
this optimization needs to live alongside the set of attributes, but
a simple array of git_attr_check_elem simply does not have any place
for that.
Introduce "struct attr_check" that contains N, the number of
attributes being sought, and A, the array that holds N
attr_check_item items, and a function git_check_attr() that
takes a path P and this structure as its parameters. This structure
can later be extended to hold extra data necessary for optimization.
Also, to make it easier to write the first two steps in common
cases, introduce git_attr_check_initl() helper function, which takes
a NULL-terminated list of attribute names and initialize this
structure.

The URL matching function computes for two URLs whether they match not.
The match is performed by splitting up the URL into different parts and
then doing an exact comparison with the to-be-matched URL.
The main user of `urlmatch` is the configuration subsystem. It allows to
set certain configurations based on the URL which is being connected to
via keys like `http.<url>.*`. A common use case for this is to set
proxies for only some remotes which match the given URL. Unfortunately,
having exact matches for all parts of the URL can become quite tedious
in some setups. Imagine for example a corporate network where there are
dozens or even hundreds of subdomains, which would have to be configured
individually.
Allow users to write an asterisk '*' in place of any 'host' or
'subdomain' label as part of the host name. For example,
"http.https://*.example.com.proxy" sets "http.proxy" for all direct
subdomains of "https://example.com", e.g. "https://foo.example.com", but
not "https://foo.bar.example.com".

In order to be able to rank positive matches by `urlmatch`, we inspect
the path length and user part to decide whether a match is better than
another match. As all other parts are matched exactly between both URLs,
this is the correct thing to do right now.
In the future, though, we want to introduce wild cards for the domain
part. When doing this, it does not make sense anymore to only compare
the path lengths. Instead, we also want to compare the domain lengths to
determine which of both URLs matches the host part more closely.

Prior to c2f41bf52 (color.c: fix color_parse_mem() with
value_len == 0, 2017-01-19), the empty string was
interpreted as a color "reset". This was an accidental
outcome, and that commit turned it into an error.
However, scripts may pass the empty string as a default
value to "git config --get-color" to disable color when the
value is not defined. The git-add--interactive script does
this. As a result, the script is unusable since c2f41bf52
unless you have color.diff.plain defined (if it is defined,
then we don't parse the empty default at all).
Our test scripts didn't notice the recent breakage because
they run without a terminal, and thus without color. They
never hit this code path at all. And nobody noticed the
original buggy "reset" behavior, because it was effectively
a noop.
Let's fix the code to have an empty color name produce an
empty sequence of color codes. The tests need a few fixups:
- we'll add a new test in t4026 to cover this case. But
note that we need to tweak the color() helper. While
we're there, let's factor out the literal ANSI ESC
character. Otherwise it makes the diff quite hard to
read.
- we'll add a basic sanity-check in t4026 that "git add
-p" works at all when color is enabled. That would have
caught this bug, as well as any others that are specific
to the color code paths.
- 73c727d69 (log --graph: customize the graph lines with
config log.graphColors, 2017-01-19) added a test to
t4202 that checks some "invalid" graph color config.
Since ",, blue" before yielded only "blue" as valid, and
now yields "empty, empty, blue", we don't match the
expected output.
One way to fix this would be to change the expectation
to the empty color strings. But that makes the test much
less interesting, since we show only two graph lines,
both of which would be colorless.
Since the empty-string case is now covered by t4026,
let's remove them entirely here. They're just in the way
of the primary thing the test is supposed to be
checking.
