SZEDER Gábor 911d5da6f2 completion: fix completion after 'git --option <TAB>'
The bash completion doesn't work when certain options to git itself are
specified, e.g. 'git --no-pager <TAB>' errors out with

    error: invalid key: alias.--no-pager

The main _git() completion function finds out the git command name by
looping through all the words on the command line and searching for
the first word that is not a known option for the git command.

Unfortunately the list of known git options was not updated in a long
time, and newer options are not skipped but mistaken for a git command.
Such a misrecognized "command" is then passed to __git_aliased_command(),
which in turn passes it to a 'git config' query, hence the error.

Currently the following options are misrecognized for a git command:

  -c --no-pager --exec-path --html-path --man-path --info-path
  --no-replace-objects --work-tree= --namespace=

To fix this we could just update the list of options to be skipped,
but the same issue will likely arise, if the git command learns a new
option in the future.  Therefore, to make it more future proof against
new options, this patch changes that loop to skip all option-looking
words, i.e. words starting with a dash.

We also have to handle the '-c' option specially, because it takes a
configutation parameter in a separate word, which must be skipped,
too.

[fc: added tests]

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival
sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
