From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> If, in the root of a project, one types git sparse-checkout set --cone ../<TAB> then an error message of the form fatal: ../: '../' is outside repository at '/home/newren/floss/git' is written to stderr, which munges the users view of their own command. Squelch such messages by using the __git() wrapper, designed for this purpose; see commit e15098a314 (completion: consolidate silencing errors from git commands, 2017-02-03) for more on the wrapper.
