The established way to update the completion script in an already running shell is to simply source it again: this brings in any new --options and features, and clears caching variables. E.g. it clears the variables caching the list of (all|porcelain) git commands, so when they are later lazy-initialized again, then they will list and cache any newly installed commmands as well. Unfortunately, since d401f3debc (git-completion.bash: introduce __gitcomp_builtin, 2018-02-09) and subsequent patches this doesn't work for a lot of git commands' options. To eliminate a lot of hard-to-maintain hard-coded lists of options, those commits changed the completion script to use a bunch of programmatically created and lazy-initialized variables to cache the options of those builtin porcelain commands that use parse-options. These variables are not cleared upon sourcing the completion script, therefore they continue caching the old lists of options, even when some commands recently learned new options or when deprecated options were removed. Always 'unset' these variables caching the options of builtin commands when sourcing the completion script. Redirect 'unset's stderr to /dev/null, because ZSH's 'unset' complains if it's invoked without any arguments, i.e. no variables caching builtin's options are set. This can happen, if someone were to source the completion script twice without completing any --options in between. Bash stays silent in this case. Add tests to ensure that these variables are indeed cleared when the completion script is sourced; not just the variables caching options, but all other caching variables, i.e. the variables caching commands, porcelain commands and merge strategies as well.

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
