A common thing to grep for is the name of a symbol. This patch teaches the completion for "git grep" to look in a 'tags' file, if present, to complete a pattern. For example, in git.git:
$ make tags $ git grep get_sha1<Tab><Tab> get_sha1 get_sha1_oneline get_sha1_1 get_sha1_with_context get_sha1_basic get_sha1_with_context_1 get_sha1_hex get_sha1_with_mode get_sha1_hex_segment get_sha1_with_mode_1 get_sha1_mb
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> --- It's debatable whether this belongs in the generic completion code, as it really only works if your project uses ctags. But I find it to be a huge timesaver for finding callsites of functions, especially when coupled with "git jump grep" from the previous patch.
Undoubtedly you can do something similar with cscope, or with an editor plugin, but using grep feels very natural and simple to me.
For using with "git jump grep", I do this:
# much easier to type git config --global alias.vgrep 'jump grep'
# and set up completion for it, too
cat >>~/.bashrc

_git_grep
