The user can be presented with invalid completion results
when trying to complete a 'git checkout' command. This can happen
when using a branch name prefix that matches multiple remote branches.
For example, if available branches are:
master
remotes/GitHub/maint
remotes/GitHub/master
remotes/origin/maint
remotes/origin/master
When performing completion on 'git checkout ma' the user will be
given the choices:
maint
master
However, 'git checkout maint' will fail in this case, although
completion previously said 'maint' was valid. Furthermore, when
performing completion on 'git checkout mai', no choices will be
suggested. So, the user is first told that the branch name
'maint' is valid, but when trying to complete 'mai' into 'maint',
that completion is no longer valid.
The completion results should never propose 'maint' as a valid
branch name, since 'git checkout' will refuse it.
The reason for this bug is that the uniq program only
works with sorted input. The man page states
"uniq prints the unique lines in a sorted file".
When __git_refs uses the guess heuristic employed by checkout for
tracking branches it wants to consider remote branches but only if
the branch name is unique. To do that, it calls 'uniq -u'. However
the input given to 'uniq -u' is not sorted.
Therefore, in the above example, when dealing with 'git checkout ma',
"__git_refs '' 1" will find the following list:
master
maint
master
maint
master
which, when passed to 'uniq -u' will remain the same. Therefore
'maint' will be wrongly suggested as a valid option.
When dealing with 'git checkout mai', the list will be:
maint
maint
which happens to be sorted and will be emptied by 'uniq -u',
properly ignoring 'maint'.
A solution for preventing the completion script from suggesting
such invalid branch names is to first call 'sort' and then 'uniq -u'.

The current tcsh-completion support for Git, as can be found on the
Internet, takes the approach of defining the possible completions
explicitly. This has the obvious draw-back to require constant
updating as the Git code base evolves.
The approach taken by this commit is to to re-use the advanced bash
completion script and use its result for tcsh completion. This is
achieved by sourcing the bash script and outputting the completion
result for tcsh consumption.
Three solutions were looked at to implement this approach with (C)
being retained:
A) Modifications:
git-completion.bash and new git-completion.tcsh
Modify the existing git-completion.bash script to support
being sourced using bash (as now), but also executed using bash.
When being executed, the script will output the result of the
computed completion to be re-used elsewhere (e.g., in tcsh).
The modification to git-completion.bash is made not to be
tcsh-specific, but to allow future users to also re-use its
output. Therefore, to be general, git-completion.bash accepts a
second optional parameter, which is not used by tcsh, but could
prove useful for other users.
Pros:
1- allows the git-completion.bash script to easily be re-used
2- tcsh support is mostly isolated in git-completion.tcsh
Cons (for tcsh users only):
1- requires the user to copy both git-completion.tcsh and
git-completion.bash to ${HOME}
2- requires bash script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash
B) Modifications:
git-completion.bash
Modify the existing git-completion.bash script to support
being sourced using bash (as now), but also executed using bash,
and sourced using tcsh.
Pros:
1- only requires the user to deal with a single file
2- maintenance more obvious for tcsh since it is entirely part
of the same git-completion.bash script.
Cons:
1- tcsh support could affect bash support as they share the
same script
2- small tcsh section must use syntax suitable for both tcsh
and bash and must be at the beginning of the script
3- requires script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.sh (for tcsh users only)
C) Modifications:
New git-completion.tcsh
Provide a short tcsh script that generates another script
which extends git-completion.bash. This new script can be
used by tcsh to perform completion.
Pros:
1- tcsh support is entirely isolated in git-completion.tcsh
2- new tcsh script can be as complex as needed
Cons (for tcsh users only):
1- requires the user to copy both git-completion.tcsh and
git-completion.bash to ${HOME}
2- requires bash script to have a fixed name and location:
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash
3- sourcing the new script will generate a third script
Approach (C) was selected avoid any modification to git-completion.bash.

The list of all git commands is computed from the output of 'git help
-a', which already includes 'help', so there is no need to explicitly
add it once more when computing the list of porcelain commands.
Note that 'help' wasn't actually offered twice because of this,
because Bash filters duplicates from possible completion words.

The main point is to match the colors to be more close to the color
output of "git status -sb".
- the branchname is green, or in red when the HEAD is detached;
- the flags are either red or green for unstaged/staged and the
remaining flags get a different color or none at all.

Changes __git_ps1 to allow its use as PROMPT_COMMAND in bash
in addition to setting PS1 with __git_ps1 in a command substitution.
PROMPT_COMMAND has advantages for using color without running
into prompt-wrapping issues. Only by assigning \[ and \] to PS1
directly can bash know that these and the enclosed zero-width codes in
between don't count in the length of the prompt.

To ease testing without depending on a reachable svn server, this
compact python script mimics parts of svnrdumps behaviour. It
requires the remote url to start with sim://.
Start and end revisions are evaluated. If the requested revision
doesn't exist, as it is the case with incremental imports, if no new
commit was added, it returns 1 (like svnrdump).
To allow using the same dump file for simulating multiple incremental
imports, the highest revision can be limited by setting the environment
variable SVNRMAX to that value. This simulates the situation where
higher revs don't exist yet.

Search for a note attached to the ref to update and read it's
'Revision-number:'-line. Start import from the next svn revision.
If there is no next revision in the svn repo, svnrdump terminates with
a message on stderr an non-zero return value. This looks a little
weird, but there is no other way to know whether there is a new
revision in the svn repo.
On the start of an incremental import, the parent of the first commit
in the fast-import stream is set to the branch name to update. All

The reference to update by the fast-import stream is hard-coded. When
fetching from a remote the remote-helper shall update refs in a
private namespace, i.e. a private subdir of refs/. This namespace is
defined by the 'refspec' capability, that the remote-helper advertises
as a reply to the 'capabilities' command.

expansion of refs by "git checkout".
While we're sorting out the correct solution, we are much
better with the original bug (people with metacharacters in

As reported by Jeroen Meijer[1]; the current code doesn't deal properly
with items (tags, branches, etc.) that have ${} in them because they get
expaned by bash while using compgen.
A simple solution is to quote the items so they get expanded properly
(\$\{\}).
In order to achieve that I took bash-completion's quote() function,
which is rather simple, and renamed it to __git_quote() as per Jeff
King's suggestion.
Solves the original problem for me.
