From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx>
The function __git_complete_config_variable_name in the Bash completion
script hardcodes several config variable names. These variables are
those in config section where user-defined names can appear, such as
"branch.<name>". These sections are treated first by the case statement,
and the two last "catch all" cases are used for other sections, making
use of the __git_compute_config_vars and __git_compute_config_sections
function, which omit listing any variables containing wildcards or
placeholders. Having hardcoded config variables introduces the risk of
the completion code becoming out of sync with the actual config
variables accepted by Git.
To avoid these hardcoded config variables, introduce a new function,
__git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section, making use of the
existing __git_config_vars variable. This function takes as argument a
config section name and computes the matching "first level" config
variables for that section, i.e. those _not_ containing any placeholder,
like 'branch.autoSetupMerge, 'remote.pushDefault', etc. Use this
function and the variables it defines in the 'branch.*', 'remote.*' and
'submodule.*' switches of the case statement instead of hardcoding the
corresponding config variables. Note that we use indirect expansion
instead of associative arrays because those are not supported in Bash 3,
on which macOS is stuck for licensing reasons.
Add a test to make sure the new function works correctly by verfying it
lists all 'submodule' config variables. This has the downside that this
test must be updated when new 'submodule' configuration are added, but
this should be a small burden since it happens infrequently.
