The short options (-l, -f, -d) for git-branch are rather silly to
include in the completion generation as these options must be fully
typed out by the user and most users already know what the options
are anyway, so including them in the suggested completions does
not offer huge value. (The same goes for git-checkout and git-diff.)

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.

Since the user's git installation is not likely to grow a new command
or merge strategy in the lifespan of the current shell process we can
save time during completion operations by caching these lists during
sourcing of the completion support.
If the git executable is not available or we run into errors while
caching at load time then we defer these to runtime and generate
the list on the fly. This might happen if the user doesn't put git
into their PATH until after the completion script gets sourced.

Because git-merge and git-rebase both accept -s, --strategy or --strategy=
we should recognize all three formats in the bash completion functions and
issue back all merge strategies on demand.
I also moved the prior word testing to be before the current word testing,
as the current word cannot be completed with -- if the prior word was an
option which requires a parameter, such as -s or --strategy.

This is a really ugly completion script for git-repo-config, but it has
some nice properties. I've added all of the documented configuration
parameters from Documentation/config.txt to the script, allowing the
user to complete any standard configuration parameter name.
We also have some intelligence for the remote.*.* and branch.*.* keys
by completing not only the key name (e.g. remote.origin) but also the
values (e.g. remote.*.fetch completes to the branches available on the
corresponding remote).

Now that people are really likely to start using separate remotes
(due to the default in git-clone changing) we should support ref
completion for these refs in as many commands as possible.
While we are working on this routine we should use for-each-ref
to obtain a list of local refs, as this should run faster than
peek-remote as it does not need to dereference tag objects in
order to produce the list of refs back to us. It should also
be more friendly to users of StGIT as we won't generate a list
of the StGIT metadata refs.

As git-rebase is a popular command bash should know how to complete
reference names and its long options. We only support completions
which make sense given the current state of the repository, that
way users don't get shown --continue/--skip/--abort on the first
execution.
Also added support for long option --strategy to git-merge, as I

Many users want to display the current branch name of the current git
repository as part of their PS1 prompt, much as their PS1 prompt might
also display the current working directory name.
We don't force our own PS1 onto the user. Instead we let them craft
their own PS1 string and offer them the function __git_ps1 which they
can invoke to obtain either "" (when not in a git repository) or
"(%s)" where %s is the name of the current branch, as read from HEAD,
with the leading refs/heads/ removed.

Users generally are not going to need to invoke plumbing-level commands

If the user has setup a command line of "git --git-dir=baz" then
anything we complete must be performed within the scope of "baz"
and not the current working directory.
This is useful with commands such as "git --git-dir=git.git log m"
to complete out "master" and view the log for the master branch of
the git.git repository. As a nice side effect this also works for
aliases within the target repository, just as git would honor them.
Unfortunately because we still examine arguments by absolute position
in most of the more complex commands (e.g. git push) using --git-dir
with those commands will probably still cause completion to fail.

we should provide bash completion support "out of the box" for

Also cleaned up the __git_aliases expansion to use the same form
of querying and filtering repo-config as this saves two fork/execs
in the middle of a user prompted completion. Finally also forced
the variable 'word' to be local within __git_aliased_command.

This is a set of bash completion routines for many of the
popular core Git tools. I wrote these routines from scratch
after reading the git-compl and git-compl-lib routines available
from the gitcompletion package at http://gitweb.hawaga.org.uk/
and found those to be lacking in functionality for some commands.
Consequently there may be some similarities but many differences.
Since these are completion routines only for tools shipped with
core Git and since bash is a popular shell on many of the native
core Git platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, BSD) including these
routines as part of the stock package would probably be convienent
for many users.
