In testing, I didn't find any evidence of caching. Setting commands to be added and removed in the global and local configs worked reasonably. Duy's reply suggests that was considered but not implemented. I there were caching (and if it were tedious for the completion code to keep fresh between repos), then it would a bad plan to allow per-repo config. If there was a goal of adding such caching it might also make sense to avoid "fixing" the code here to allow per-repo config before it's known how that might affect such caching. It sounds like that's not something Duy is planning on for the near term though, so perhaps we're fine to allow local repo config here? As Duy mentioned, maybe some users with local aliases want to add them to the completion locally as well. If we choose to avoid local repo config then we can add a comment to the documetation like I had in 2/3. Maybe also update the comment in list_cmds_by_config() to note that we intentionally don't setup a repo -- or a similar comment in list_cmds(), where Jeff's 1/3 was adding setup_git_directory_gently(). I don't have a strong opinion either way. I more or less have the minor patches for either direction at this point. Thanks, -- Todd
