[PATCH v4 4/5] completion: avoid trailing space for --exec-path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx>

--exec-path looks to the completion script like an unambiguous
successful completion, but it is wrong; the user could be trying to
do

	git --exec-path; # print name of helper directory

or

	git --exec-path=/path/to/alternative/helper/dir <subcommand>

so the most helpful thing to do is to leave out the trailing space and
leave it to the operator to type an equal sign or carriage return
according to the situation.
