[RFC PATCH] completion: support excluding refs

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

 



Allow completion of refs with a ^ prefix. This allows completion of
commands like 'git log HEAD ^origin/master'.

I often find myself using variations of 'git log HEAD ^origin/master' to
see commits that I have locally that have not been pushed. It is also
useful when reviewing changes before integrating them e.g. 'git fetch
...; git log FETCH_HEAD ^origin/master'.
