![]() The main completion function finds the name of the git command by iterating through all the words on the command line in search for the first non-option-looking word. As it is not aware of 'git -C's mandatory path argument, if the '-C <path>' option is present, 'path' will be the first such word and it will be mistaken for a git command. This breaks completion in various ways: - If 'path' happens to match one of the commands supported by the completion script, then options of that command will be offered. - If 'path' doesn't match a supported command and doesn't contain any characters not allowed in Bash identifier names, then the completion script does basically nothing and Bash in turn falls back to filename completion for all subsequent words. - Otherwise, if 'path' does contain such an unallowed character, then it leads to a more or less ugly error message in the middle of the command line. The standard '/' directory separator is such a character, and it happens to trigger one of the uglier errors: $ git -C some/path <TAB>sh.exe": declare: `_git_some/path': not a valid identifier error: invalid key: alias.some/path Fix this by skipping 'git -C's mandatory path argument while iterating over the words on the command line. Extend the relevant test with this case and, while at it, with cases that needed similar treatment in the past ('--git-dir', '-c', '--work-tree' and '--namespace'). Additionally, silence the standard error of the 'declare' builtins looking for the completion function associated with the git command and of the 'git config' query for the aliased command. So if git ever learns a new option with a mandatory argument in the future, then, though the completion script will again misbehave, at least the command line will not be utterly disrupted by those error messages.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
