From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx>
The current default behavior of completion for git switch is
sub-optimal. Unlike checkout, git switch by default focuses on switching
branches. It does not allow detaching HEAD without the --detach option.
By default, git switch accepts only branch names. If a unique remote
branch name is given, then it will "Do What I Mean" and automatically
create a local branch tracking that remote branch.
However, "git switch <TAB>" will complete more than just branch names!
It actually completes all local references, including tags and fully
specified remote branch names.
As an example, today completion will provide the following words:
$git switch <TAB>
branch-in-other
master
master-in-other
matching-branch
matching-tag
other/branch-in-other
other/master-in-other
This includes many options which are invalid, such as tags, and fully
specified remote branches. Avoid completing these.
Add a new --mode option to __git_complete_refs, which allows changing
the behavior to call __git_heads instead of __git_refs.
By passing --mode=heads, __git_complete_refs will only output local
branches. This enables using "--mode=heads --dwim" to enable listing
local branches and the remote unique branch names for DWIM.
Refactor completion support to use the new mode option, rather than
calling __git_heads directly. This has the advantage that we can now
correctly allow local branches along with suitable DWIM refs, rather
than only allowing DWIM when we complete all references.
Choose what mode it uses when calling __git_complete_refs. If -d or
--detach have been provided, then simply complete all refs, but
*without* the DWIM option as these DWIM names won't work properly in
--detach mode.
Otherwise, call __git_complete_refs with the default dwim_opt value and
use the new "heads" mode.
In this way, the basic support for completing just "git switch <TAB>"
will result in only local branches and remote unique names for DWIM, so
switch this test to test_expect_success.
Add new test cases that cover the default behavior of completion for git
switch and git checkout with no options.
