[PATCH v2 1/2] parse-options: add --git-completion-helper-all

From
Ryan Zoeller <rtzoeller@rtzoeller.com>
Date
Aug 19, 2020, 23:06 UTC
Message-ID
<20200819230523.773348-2-rtzoeller@rtzoeller.com>
In-Reply-To
<20200819175047.692962-1-rtzoeller@rtzoeller.com>

--git-completion-helper excludes hidden options, such as --allow-empty for git commit. This is typically helpful, but occasionally we want auto-completion for obscure flags. --git-completion-helper-all returns all options, even if they are marked as hidden or nocomplete.
