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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
