Most of the time when I am on a detached HEAD and I am not doing
a rebase or bisect operation the working directory is sitting on a
tagged release of the repository. Showing the tag name instead of
the commit SHA-1 is much more descriptive and a much better reminder
of the state of this working directory.
Now that git-describe --exact-match is available as a cheap means
of obtaining the exact annotated tag or nothing at all, we can
favor the annotated tag name over the abbreviated commit SHA-1.

This patch makes the git prompt (when enabled) show if a merge or a
rebase is unfinished. It also detects if a bisect is being done as
well as detached checkouts.
An uncompleted git-am cannot be distinguised from a rebase (the
non-interactive version). Instead of having an even longer prompt
we simply ignore that and hope the power users that use git-am knows
the difference.

Lately I have been doing a lot of calls to `git tag -d` and also to
`git tag -v`. In both such cases being able to complete the names
of existing tags saves the fingers some typing effort. We now look
for the -d or -v option to git-tag in the bash completion support
and offer up existing tag names as possible choices for these.
When creating a new tag we now also offer bash completion support
for the second argument to git-tag (the object to be tagged) as this
can often be a specific existing branch name and is not necessarily
the current HEAD.
If the -f option is being used to recreate an existing tag we now
also offer completion support on the existing tag names for the
first argument of git-tag, helping to the user to reselect the
prior tag name that they are trying to replace.

Using `git push origin +foo` to forcefully overwrite the remote
branch named foo is a common idiom, especially since + is shorter
than the long option --force and can be specified on a per-branch
basis.
We now complete `git push origin +foo` just like we do the standard
`git push origin foo`. The leading + on a branch refspec does not
alter the completion.

Raimund Bauer just discovered that the default bash completion for
a local branch name in a git-push line is not the best choice when
the branch does not exist on the remote system.
In the past we have always completed the local name 'test' as
"test:test", indicating that the destination name is the same as
the local name. But this fails when "test" does not yet exist on
the remote system, as there is no "test" branch for it to match
the name against.
Fortunately git-push does the right thing when given just the
local branch, as it assumes you want to use the same name in the
destination repository. So we now offer "test" as the completion
in a git-push line, and let git-push assume that is also the remote
branch name.
We also still support the remote branch completion after the :,
but only if the user manually adds the colon before trying to get
a completion.

A few new configuration options grew out of the woodwork during the

of, so we do so.
I wanted to also add completion support for the <driver> part of

strings would be. Since this appears to be non-trivial I'm punting

(Somewhat) recently git-log learned about --reverse (to show commits

Because we use the nospace option for our completion function for
the main 'git' wrapper bash won't automatically add a space after a
unique completion has been made by the user. This has been pointed
out in the past by Linus Torvalds as an undesired behavior. I agree.
We have to use the nospace option to ensure path completion for
a command such as `git show` works properly, but that breaks the
common case of getting the space for a unique completion. So now we
set IFS=$'\n' (linefeed) and add a trailing space to every possible
completion option. This causes bash to insert the space when the
completion is unique.

It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8). Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.
The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches. The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.
This patch does the same thing for
- git-log (color.diff)
- git-status (color.status)
- git-diff (color.diff)
- pager (color.pager)
I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions. I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.
Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.

Commit 35e65ecc broke completion of local refs, e.g. "git pull . fo<tab>"
no longer would complete to "foo". Instead it printed out an internal
git error ("fatal: Not a git repository: '.'").
The break occurred when I tried to improve performance by switching from
git-peek-remote to git-for-each-ref. Apparently git-peek-remote will
drop into directory "$1/.git" (where $1 is its first parameter) if it
is given a repository with a working directory. This allowed the bash
completion code to work properly even though it was not handing over
the true repository directory.
So now we do a stat in bash to see if we need to add "/.git" to the
path string before running any command with --git-dir.
I also tried to optimize away two "git rev-parse --git-dir" invocations
in common cases like "git log fo<tab>" as typically the user is in the
top level directory of their project and therefore the .git subdirectory
is in the current working directory. This should make a difference on
systems where fork+exec might take a little while.
