Zsh completion: cached __git_repo_path affects shell session, breaks completion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I can only reproduce this in Zsh, not with Bash (using equivalent
commands), though the caching behavior comes from Bash (fad9484f0a
(completion: cache the path to the repository, 2017-02-03)).

For example (with Zsh):

mkdir a b b/c
for d (a b); git -C $d init && git -C $d commit --allow-empty -m init
cd a
git branch foo
pushd ../b/c
git branch bar
git rebase <TAB>… # completion for bar available; C-c to abort
declare -p __git_repo_path # outputs /path/to/b/.git
popd
git branch # outputs foo, main
git rebase <TAB>… # completion candidates are bar, main!

I've only been able to observe this with rebase so far (e.g., using
switch instead doesn't seem to trigger the problem).

I wonder if all callers of __git_find_repo_path should declare `local
__git_repo_path`? That might defeat some caching, but I don't think
__git_repo_path should be set globally in a shell session, and the
script is explicitly intended to be sourced… again, though, I think
Bash does the correct thing and somehow Zsh is capturing this variable
that it shouldn't be.
