SZEDER Gábor fef56eb006 completion: fill COMPREPLY directly when completing refs
__gitcomp_nl() iterates over all the possible completion words it gets
as argument

  - filtering matching words,
  - appending a trailing space to each matching word (in all but two
    cases),
  - prepending a prefix to each matching word (when completing words
    after e.g. '--option=<TAB>' or 'master..<TAB>'), and
  - adding each matching word to the COMPREPLY array.

This takes a while when a lot of refs are passed to __gitcomp_nl().

The previous changes in this series ensure that __git_refs() lists
only refs matching the current word to be completed, making a second
filtering in __gitcomp_nl() redundant.

Adding the necessary prefix and suffix could be done in __git_refs()
as well:

  - When refs come from 'git for-each-ref', then that prefix and
    suffix could be added much more efficiently using a 'git
    for-each-ref' format containing said prefix and suffix.  Care
    should be taken, though, because that prefix might contain
    'for-each-ref' format specifiers as part of the left hand side of
    a '..' range or '...' symmetric difference notation or
    fetch/push/etc. refspec, e.g. 'git log "evil-%(refname)..br<TAB>'.
    Doubling every '%' in the prefix will prevent 'git for-each-ref'
    from interpolating any of those contained specifiers.
  - When refs come from 'git ls-remote', then that prefix and suffix
    can be added in the shell loop that has to process 'git
    ls-remote's output anyway.
  - Finally, the prefix and suffix can be added to that handful of
    potentially matching symbolic and pseudo refs right away in the
    shell loop listing them.

And then all what is still left to do is to assign a bunch of
newline-separated words to a shell array, which can be done without a
shell loop iterating over each word, basically making all of
__gitcomp_nl() unnecessary for refs completion.

Add the helper function __gitcomp_direct() to fill the COMPREPLY array
with prefiltered and preprocessed words without any additional
processing, without a shell loop, with just one single compound
assignment.  Modify __git_refs() to accept prefix and suffix
parameters and add them to each and every listed ref as described
above.  Modify __git_complete_refs() to pass the prefix and suffix
parameters to __git_refs() and to feed __git_refs()'s output to
__gitcomp_direct() instead of __gitcomp_nl().

This speeds up refs completion when there are a lot of refs matching
the current word to be completed.  Listing all branches for completion
in a repo with 100k local branches, all packed, best of five:

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 http://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
