Current completion for the --track option of git switch and git checkout
is sub par. In addition to the DWIM logic of a bare branch name, --track
has DWIM logic to convert specified remote/branch names into a local
branch tracking that remote. For example
$git switch --track origin/master
This will create a local branch name master, that tracks the master
branch of the origin remote.
In fact, git switch --track on its own will not accept other forms of
references. These must instead be specified manually via the -c/-C/-b/-B
options.
Introduce __git_remote_heads() and the "remote-heads" mode for
__git_complete_refs. Use this when the --track option is provided while
completing in _git_switch and _git_checkout. Just as in the --detach
case, we never enable DWIM mode for --track, because it doesn't make
sense.
It should be noted that completion support is still a bit sub par when
it comes to handling -c/-C and --orphan. This will be resolved in
a future change.

Just like git switch, we should not complete DWIM remote branch names
if --detach has been specified. To avoid this, refactor _git_checkout in
a similar way to _git_switch.
Note that we don't simply clear dwim_opt when we find -d or --detach, as
we will be adding other modes and checks, making this flow easier to
follow.
Update the previously failing tests to show that the breakage has been
resolved.

Add a new --mode option to __git_complete_refs, which allows changing
the behavior to call __git_heads instead of __git_refs.
By passing --mode=heads, __git_complete_refs will only output local
branches. This enables using "--mode=heads --dwim" to enable listing
local branches and the remote unique branch names for DWIM.
Refactor completion support to use the new mode option, rather than
calling __git_heads directly. This has the advantage that we can now
correctly allow local branches along with suitable DWIM refs, rather
than only allowing DWIM when we complete all references.
Choose what mode it uses when calling __git_complete_refs. If -d or
--detach have been provided, then simply complete all refs, but
*without* the DWIM option as these DWIM names won't work properly in
--detach mode.
Otherwise, call __git_complete_refs with the default dwim_opt value and
use the new "heads" mode.
In this way, the basic support for completing just "git switch <TAB>"
will result in only local branches and remote unique names for DWIM.
The basic no-options tests for git switch, as well as several of the
-c/-C tests now pass, so remove the known breakage tags.

A new helper, __git_find_last_on_cmdline is introduced, similar to the
already existing __git_find_on_cmdline, but which operates in reverse,
finding the *last* matching word of the provided wordlist.
Use this in a new __git_checkout_default_dwim_mode() function that will
determine when to enable listing of DWIM remote branches.
The __git_find_last_on_cmdline() function is used to determine which
--guess or --no-guess is in effect. If either one is provided, then we
unconditionally enable or disable the DWIM mode based on the last
provided option.
If neither --guess nor --no-guess is provided, then we check for
--no-track, and finally for GIT_COMPLETION_CHECKOUT_NO_GUESS=1.
This function is then used in _git_switch and _git_checkout to improve
the handling for when we enable listing of these DWIM remote branches.
This new logic is more robust, as we will correctly identify superseded
options, and ensure that both _git_switch and _git_checkout enable DWIM
in similar ways.
We can now update a few tests to indicate they pass. A few of the tests
previously added to highlight issues with the old DWIM logic still fail.
This is because of a separate issue related to the default completion
behavior of git switch, which will be addressed in a future change.
Additionally, due to this change, a few tests for the -b/-B handling of
git checkout now fail. This is a minor regression, and will be fixed by
a following change that improves the overall handling of -b/-B. Mark
these tests as known breakages for now.

__git_complete_refs is the main function used for completing references.
It is primarily used as a wrapper around __git_refs, and is easier to
extend since its arguments are option-like.
One major downside of __git_complete_refs and __git_refs currently, is
the lack of ability to complete only a subset of refs such as branches
(refs/heads) or tags (refs/tags).
Normally, a caller might just decide to use __git_heads() or
__git_tags(). However, in the case of git-switch, it is useful to
complete both branches *and* DWIM remote branch names.
Due to the complexity and implementation of __git_refs, it is not easy
to extend it to support listing only a subset of references.
Instead, we can extend __git_complete_refs to do this. For this to be
done, we must first ensure that "--dwim" support is not tied to calling
__git_refs.
Instead of passing $dwim into __git_refs, we can implement
a __gitcomp_direct_append function which can append to COMPREPLY after
a call to __gitcomp_direct.
If --dwim is passed to __git_complete_refs, use __gitcomp_direct_append
to add the output of __git_dwim_remote_heads to the completion list.
In this way, --dwim support is now independent of calling __git_refs.
A future change will add an additional option to control what set of
references __git_complete_refs will output.

__git_refs() has the ability to report unique remote names for
supporting completion of remote branch names for the DWIMery of git
checkout and git switch.
For git checkout, this is fine, because it always supports completing
all local references.
However, git switch by default only supports either switching branches
or using this DWIMery to create a local branch tracking the remote
branch.
Future work to cleanup and improve completion support for git switch
will be aided if the remote branch names can be completed separately
from __git_refs.
Extract this logic to a function __git_dwim_remote_heads(), and use it
in __git_refs.

The __git_complete_refs uses the "--track" option to specify when to
enable listing of unique remote branches which are used by the DWIM
logic of git checkout and git switch.
Using the term '--track' here is confusing because the git commands
themselves have '--track' as an argument. Additionally, the completion
logic for _git_switch also checks for --track. Keeping the meaning of
track_opt and --track for __git_complete_refs straight from the --track
git switch and git checkout option is difficult when reading this code.
Use the option '--dwim' instead, indicating this is about enabling or
disabling logic related to DWIM mode. Also rename the local variable
track_opt to dwim_opt to further reduce the confusion when reading the
completion code for _git_switch.
Because it is plausible for users to have developed their own
completions which rely on __git_complete_ref, keep --track as a synonym
for --dwim, even though we no longer use it in any of the core git
completion logic. Add a comment explaining why it remains as an
alternative spelling for --dwim.

"git am --short-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail

Note that while --color-moved-ws= accepts comma-separated
list of values, there is no (easy?) way to make it work

as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch. Unfortunately the suggestion
is somewhat misguided; for example, the output "git am --show-current-patch"
cannot be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable or
base64. To simplify worktree operations and to avoid that users poke into
.git, it would be better if "git am" also provided a mode that copies
.git/rebase-merge/patch to stdout.
One possibility could be to have completely separate options, introducing
for example --show-current-message (for .git/rebase-apply/NNNN)
and --show-current-diff (for .git/rebase-apply/patch), while possibly
deprecating --show-current-patch.
That would even remove the need for the first two patches in the series.
However, the long common prefix would have prevented using an abbreviated
option such as "--show". Therefore, I chose instead to add a string
argument to --show-current-patch. The new argument is optional, so that
"git am --show-current-patch"'s behavior remains backwards-compatible.
The next choice to make is how to handle multiple --show-current-patch
options. Right now, something like "git am --abort --show-current-patch"
is rejected, and the previous suggestion would likewise have naturally
rejected a command line like
git am --show-current-message --show-current-diff
Therefore, I decided to also reject for example
git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch=raw
In other words the whole of --show-current-patch=xxx (including the
optional argument) is treated as the command mode. I found this to be
more consistent and intuitive, even though it differs from the usual
"last one wins" semantics of the git command line.
Add the code to parse submodes based on the above design, where for now
"raw" is the only valid submode. "raw" prints the full e-mail message
just like "git am --show-current-patch".

The standard format for referencing other commits within some projects
(such as git.git) is the reference format. This is described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as
If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
branch, use the format "abbreviated hash (subject, date)", like this:
....

noticed that ...
....
Since this format is so commonly used, standardize it as a pretty
format.
The tests that are implemented essentially show that the format-string
does not change in response to various log options. This is useful
because, for future developers, it shows that we've considered the
limitations of the "canned format-string" approach and we are fine with
them.

A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they
wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquash, they
would run something such as
git rebase -i --onto master... master
in order to preserve the merge base. This is useful when contributing a
patch series to the Git mailing list, one often starts on top of the
current 'master'. While developing the patches, 'master' is also
developed further and it is sometimes not the best idea to keep rebasing
on top of 'master', but to keep the base commit as-is.
In addition to this, a user wishing to test individual commits in a
topic branch without changing anything may run
git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master
Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is
such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut.
This allows us to rewrite the above as
git rebase -i --keep-base master
and
git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master
respectively.
Add tests to ensure --keep-base works correctly in the normal case and
fails when there are multiple merge bases, both in regular and
interactive mode. Also, test to make sure conflicting options cause
rebase to fail. While we're adding test cases, add a missing
set_fake_editor call to 'rebase -i --onto master...side'.
While we're documenting the --keep-base option, change an instance of
"merge-base" to "merge base", which is the consistent spelling.

requires a stuck argument, i.e. '--option=', then the trailing space
should not be added, so the user can continue typing the required
argument right away. That '--*=*' pattern is supposed to match these
options, but for this purpose that second '*' is unnecessary, a '--*='
pattern works just as well. That second '*' would only make a
difference in case of a possible completion word like
'--option=value', but our completion script never passes such a word
to __gitcomp(), because the '--option=' and its 'value' must be
completed separately.

The completion script runs the classic '| sort | uniq' pipeline to
deduplicate the output of 'git help --config-for-completion'. 'sort
-u' does the same, but uses one less external process and pipeline
stage. Not a bit win, as it's only run once as the list of supported
configuration variables is initialized, but at least it sets a better
example for others to follow.

The number of configuration variables listed by the completion script
grew quite when we started to auto-generate it from the documentation
[1], so we now complete them in two steps: first we list only the
section names, then the rest [2]. To get the section names we simply
strip everything following the first dot in each variable name,
resulting in a lot of repeated section names, because most sections
contain more than one configuration variable. This is not a
correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion facilities
remove all repetitions anyway, but these repetitions make testing a
bit harder.
Replace the small 'sed' script removing subsections and variable names
with an 'awk' script that does the same, and in addition removes any
repeated configuration sections as well (by first creating and filling
an associative array indexed by all encountered configuration
sections, and then iterating over this array and printing the indices,
i.e. the unique section names). This change makes the failing 'git
config - section' test in 't9902-completion.sh' pass.
Note that this changes the order of section names in the output, and
makes it downright undeterministic, but this is not an issue, because
Bash sorts them before presenting them to the user, and our completion
tests sort them as well before comparing with the expected output.
Yeah, it would be simpler and shorter to just append '| sort -u' to
that command, but that would incur the overhead of one more external
process and pipeline stage every time a user completes configuration
sections.

Most 'color.*' configuration variables, with the sole exception of
'color.pager', accept the same set of values, but our completion
script recognizes only about half of them. We could explicitly add
all those missing variables, but let's try to reduce future
maintenance burden, and use the catch-all 'color.*' pattern instead,
so this list won't get out of sync when a similar new configuration
variable accepting the same values is introduced [1].
Furthermore, their documentation explicitly mentions that they all
accept the standard boolean values 'false' and 'true' as well, so list
these, too, among the possible values.
[1] OTOH, there will be a maintenance burden if ever a new
'color.something' is introduced which doesn't accept the same set
of values. We'll see which one happens first...
