In __gitcomp_file_direct() we tell Bash that it should handle our
possible completion words as filenames with the following piece of
cleverness:
# use a hack to enable file mode in bash < 4
compopt -o filenames +o nospace 2>/dev/null ||
compgen -f /non-existing-dir/ > /dev/null
Unfortunately, this makes this function always return with error
when it is not invoked in real completion, but e.g. in tests of
't9902-completion.sh':
- First the 'compopt' line errors out
- either because in Bash v3.x there is no such command,
- or because in Bash v4.x it complains about "not currently
executing completion function",
- then 'compgen' just silently returns with error because of the
non-existing directory.
Since __gitcomp_file_direct() is now the last command executed in
__git_complete_index_file(), that function returns with error as well,
which prevents it from being invoked in tests directly as is, and
would require extra steps in test to hide its error code.
So let's make sure that __gitcomp_file_direct() doesn't return with
error, because in the tests coming in the following patch we do want
to exercise __git_complete_index_file() directly,
__gitcomp_file() contains the same construct, and thus it, too, always
returns with error. Update that function accordingly as well.
While at it, also remove the space from between the redirection
operator and the filename in both functions.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.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).
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 https://public-inbox.org/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.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (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
