[PATCH 2/2] completion: add case-insensitive match of pseudorefs

From
Alison Winters via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Nov 5, 2022, 17:28 UTC
Message-ID
<c455e855395dcc9215ea4ce3181eb3cbaff4000b.1667669315.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1374.git.git.1667669315.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Alison Winters <alisonatwork@outlook.com>

When GIT_COMPLETION_IGNORE_CASE=1, also allow lowercase completion text like "head" to match HEAD and other pseudorefs.
