Similar to Bash's default filename completion, our git-aware filename
completion stops at directory boundaries, i.e. it doesn't offer the
full 'path/to/file' at first, but only 'path/'. To achieve that the
completion script runs 'git ls-files' with specific command line
options to get the list of relevant paths under the current directory,
and then processes each path to strip all but the base directory or
filename (see __git_index_files()).
To offer only modified and untracked files for 'git add' the
completion script runs 'git ls-files --exclude-standard --others
--modified'. This command lists all non-ignored files in untracked
directories, which leads to a noticeable delay caused by the
processing mentioned above if there are a lot of such files
(__git_index_files() specifies '--exclude-standard' internally):
$ mkdir untracked-dir
$ for i in {1..10000} ; do >untracked-dir/$i ; done
$ time __git_index_files "--others --modified"
untracked-dir
real 0m0.537s
user 0m0.452s
sys 0m0.160s
Eliminate this delay by additionally passing the '--directory
--no-empty-directory' options to 'git ls-files' to show only the
directory name of non-empty untracked directories instead their whole
content:
$ time __git_index_files "--others --modified --directory --no-empty-directory"
untracked-dir
real 0m0.029s
user 0m0.020s
sys 0m0.004s
Filename completion for 'git clean' suffers from the same delay, as it
offers untracked files, too. The fix could be the same, but since it
actually makes sense to 'git clean' empty directories, in this case we
only pass the '--directory' option to 'git ls-files'.

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 version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
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://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
