[PATCH v5] git-completion.bash: add support for path completion

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

 



The git-completion.bash script did not implemented full, git aware,
support to complete paths, for git commands that operate on files within
the current working directory or the index.

As an example:

	git add <TAB>

will suggest all files in the current working directory, including
ignored files and files that have not been modified.

Support path completion, for git commands where the non-option arguments
always refer to paths within the current working directory or the index,
as follows:

* the path completion for the "git rm" and "git ls-files"
  commands will suggest all cached files.

* the path completion for the "git add" command will suggest all
  untracked and modified files.  Ignored files are excluded.

* the path completion for the "git clean" command will suggest all
  untracked files.  Ignored files are excluded.

* the path completion for the "git mv" command will suggest all cached
  files when expanding the first argument, and all untracked and cached
  files for subsequent arguments.  In the latter case, empty directories
  are included and ignored files are excluded.

* the path completion for the "git commit" command will suggest all
  files that have been modified from the HEAD, if HEAD exists, otherwise
  it will suggest all cached files.

For all affected commands, completion will always stop at directory
boundary.  Only standard ignored files are excluded, using the
--exclude-standard option of the ls-files command.

When using a recent Bash version, Git path completion will be the same
as builtin file completion, e.g.

	git add contrib/

will suggest relative file names.

Changes:

	* Applied Junio patch to fix completion inside a subdirectory.
	* Quoted the hopefully last incorrectly unquoted variable.
	* Fixed coding style (removed stdout file descriptor in shell
	  redirection, since it is redundant).
	* Fixed regression in path completion, when using non canonicalized
	  or absolute path names.
	  The problem has been solved making sure to chdir to the specified
	  directory before executing ls-files and diff-index commands.

	  The only issue is that there is no tilde expansion, but this is
	  harmless, since default bash completion will be used (the old
	  behaviour).
	* Improved path completion when the new compopt builtin is available
	  (Bash >= 4.x).
	  Now git paths completion is done in exactly the same way as Bash
	  builtin filenames completion.
    * Updated the zsh compatibility code to use the improved path
      completion support
	* Fixed incorrect git mv arguments count used to check the first
	  path to be renamed.
	  When options are used (unless they are git main options), -- is
	  required to separate options from non options arguments.
	  It is harmless to not use --; in this case bash will suggest
	  untracked files and directories for the first argument.

	  XXX: should I add this implementation note in the commit message?
	* Make sure to sort ls-files and diff-index filtered output before
	  removing duplicate directories.
	* Merged master.
	 
Please note that before merging this patch in next, we need to update the
zsh and tcsh completion scripts.
I have the changes ready, but I will post them later since both scripts
needs more patches (I have posted an informal patch for zsh, and changes
to tcsh should be in pu, but I need to test them).
