2024-01-16completion: treat dangling symrefs as existing pseudorefsPatrick Steinhardt
The `__git_pseudoref_exists ()` helper function back to git-rev-parse(1) in case the reftable backend is in use. This is not in the same spirit as the simple existence check that the "files" backend does though, because there we only check for the pseudo-ref to exist with `test -f`. With git-rev-parse(1) we not only check for existence, but also verify that the pseudo-ref resolves to an object, which may not be the case when the pseudo-ref points to an unborn branch. Fix this issue by using `git show-ref --exists` instead. Note that we do not have to silence stdout anymore as git-show-ref(1) will not print anything.

2024-01-16completion: silence pseudoref existence checkPatrick Steinhardt
In 44dbb3bf29 (completion: support pseudoref existence checks for reftables, 2023-12-19), we have extended the Bash completion script to support future ref backends better by using git-rev-parse(1) to check for pseudo-ref existence. This conversion has introduced a bug, because even though we pass `--quiet` to git-rev-parse(1) it would still output the resolved object ID of the ref in question if it exists. Fix this by redirecting its stdout to `/dev/null` and add a test that catches this behaviour. Note that the test passes even without the fix for the "files" backend because we parse pseudo refs via the filesystem directly in that case. But the test will fail with the "reftable" backend.

2024-01-16completion: improve existence check for pseudo-refsPatrick Steinhardt
Improve the existence check along the following lines: - Stop stripping the "ref :" prefix and compare to the expected value directly. This allows us to drop a now-unused variable that was previously leaking into the user's shell. - Mark the "head" variable as local so that we don't leak its value into the user's shell. - Stop manually handling the `-C $__git_repo_path` option, which the `__git ()` wrapper aleady does for us. - In simlar spirit, stop redirecting stderr, which is also handled by the wrapper already.

2024-01-16completion: discover repo path in `__git_pseudoref_exists ()`Patrick Steinhardt
The helper function `__git_pseudoref_exists ()` expects that the repo path has already been discovered by its callers, which makes for a rather fragile calling convention. Refactor the function to discover the repo path itself to make it more self-contained, which also removes the need to discover the path in some of its callers.

2023-12-19completion: support pseudoref existence checks for reftablesStan Hu
In contrib/completion/git-completion.bash, there are a bunch of instances where we read pseudorefs, such as HEAD, MERGE_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD, and others via the filesystem. However, the upcoming reftable refs backend won't use '.git/HEAD' at all but instead will write an invalid refname as placeholder for backwards compatibility, which will break the git-completion script. Update the '__git_pseudoref_exists' function to: 1. Recognize the placeholder '.git/HEAD' written by the reftable backend (its content is specified in the reftable specs). 2. If reftable is in use, use 'git rev-parse' to determine whether the given ref exists. 3. Otherwise, continue to use 'test -f' to check for the ref's filename.

2023-12-03completion: avoid user confusion in non-cone modeElijah Newren
It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git sparse-checkout. However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion: Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories. For git sparse-checkout add we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present in the current working tree. Providing the files and directories currently present is thus always wrong. For git sparse-checkout set we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already have. That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via git sparse-checkout init git sparse-checkout set <args...> (or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time). The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to expand the checkout. Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion be appropriate. Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly. If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead. Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths. Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the repository, especially when listing individual files. There are a number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages them to do so (as noted above). However, if users do so (via adding a leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem. That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong. Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly. There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with sparse-checkouts. There is only a single worktree-global $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file. As such, paths to files must be specified relative to the toplevel of a repository. Providing suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory, as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working directory is not the worktree toplevel directory. Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths. While most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[', ']', and any leading '#' or '!'. If completion suggests any such paths, users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1. However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in the index. As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted pattern that matches such a file. For example, if they type: git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB> we could "complete" to git sparse-checkout add /Makefile or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory: git sparse-checkout add m<TAB> we could "complete" it to: git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND beginnings". The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some characters. The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly; this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the common cases right.

2023-12-03completion: avoid misleading completions in cone modeElijah Newren
The "set" and "add" subcommands of "sparse-checkout", when in cone mode, should only complete on directories. For bash_completion in general, when no completions are returned for any subcommands, it will often fall back to standard completion of files and directories as a substitute. That is not helpful here. Since we have already looked for all valid completions, if none are found then falling back to standard bash file and directory completion is at best actively misleading. In fact, there are three different ways it can be actively misleading. Add a long comment in the code about how that fallback behavior can deceive, and disable the fallback by returning a fake result as the sole completion.

2023-12-03completion: fix logic for determining whether cone mode is activeElijah Newren
_git_sparse_checkout() was checking whether we were in cone mode by checking whether either: A) core.sparseCheckoutCone was "true" B) "--cone" was specified on the command line This code has 2 bugs I didn't catch in my review at the time 1) core.sparseCheckout must be "true" for core.sparseCheckoutCone to be relevant (which matters since "git sparse-checkout disable" only unsets core.sparseCheckout, not core.sparseCheckoutCone) 2) The presence of "--no-cone" should override any config setting Further, I forgot to update this logic as part of 2d95707a02 ("sparse-checkout: make --cone the default", 2022-04-22) for the new default. Update the code for the new default and make it be more careful in determining whether to complete based on cone mode or non-cone mode.

2023-09-20completion: loosen and document the requirement around completing aliasJunio C Hamano
Recently we started to tell users to spell ": git foo ;" with space(s) around 'foo' for an alias to be completed similarly to the 'git foo' command.

2023-09-12completion: improve doc for complex aliasesPhilippe Blain
The completion code can be told to use a particular completion for aliases that shell out by using ': git <cmd> ;' as the first command of the alias. This only works if <cmd> and the semicolon are separated by a space, since if the space is missing __git_aliased_command returns (for example) 'checkout;' instead of just 'checkout', and then __git_complete_command fails to find a completion for 'checkout;'. The examples have that space but it's not clear if it's just for style or if it's mandatory. Explicitly mention it.

2023-09-08completion(switch/checkout): treat --track and -t the sameJohannes Schindelin
When `git switch --track ` is to be completed, only remote refs are eligible because that is what the `--track` option targets. And when the short-hand `-t` is used instead, the same _should_ happen. Let's make it so. Note that the bug exists both in the completions of `switch` and `completion`, even if it manifests in slightly different ways: While the completion of `git switch -t ` will not even look at remote refs, the completion of `git checkout -t ` will look at both remote _and_ local refs.
