[PATCH 0/7] completion bash: add more options and commands

From: Cornelius Weig <cornelius.weig@tngtech.com>

The cli interface for git has the greatest versatility of all git tools. Its productivity depends on how easy it is to type commands and to remember options. The command line completion helps two-fold by easing input and displaying possible options.

Bash completion lacks support for several options and some useful commands. Although the selection of recognized options is always opinionated (e.g. the documentation for git-completion.bash says that 'common' long options are recognized), I think that extending the cli completion will always increase the productivity.

To that end, the following commits add completion support for several existing options and subcommands. For every command all options that are mentioned in the introduction of its man page should now be available for completion.

Cornelius Weig (7):
  completion: teach options to submodule subcommands
  completion: add subcommand completion for rerere
  completion: improve bash completion for git-add
  completion: teach ls-remote to complete options
  completion: teach replace to complete options
  completion: teach remote subcommands option completion
  completion: recognize more long-options
