How about this: The bash completion script knows some options to "git log" and "git show" only in the positive form, (e.g. "--abbrev-commit"), but not in their negative form (e.g. "--no-abbrev-commit"). Adds them. Also, the bash completion script is missing some other options to "git diff", and "git show" (and thus, all other commands that take "git diff"'s options). Adds them. Of note, since "--indent-heuristic" is no longer experimental, adds that too. > >> --- > > Missed sign-off? Whoops, there doesn't seem to be a way to add that separately from the commit message in the submitGit interface. I'll try adding it, but gmail might turn all the tabs into spaces, so if it does, I'll try to figure out how to resubmit. > >> @@ -1759,16 +1765,19 @@ _git_log () >> ... >> - --decorate --decorate= >> + --decorate --decorate= --no-decorate >> ... >> @@ -2816,8 +2825,9 @@ _git_show () >> return >> ;; >> --*) >> - __gitcomp "--pretty= --format= --abbrev-commit --oneline >> - --show-signature >> + __gitcomp "--pretty= --format= --abbrev-commit --no-abbrev-commit >> + --oneline --show-signature --patch >> + --expand-tabs --expand-tabs= --no-expand-tabs >> $__git_diff_common_options >> " >> return > > It's a bit sad that the completion support does not know that "git > show" belongs to the "git log" family of commands.

I think I'll stick with this patch for now (it's my first!), but I might come around and do refactoring in a second pass. Thanks, Max
