Subject: [PATCH noindent 1/3] bash-completion: Support running when set -u is enabled
Message-ID: <1232035343-10544-1-git-send-email-ted@tedpavlic.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1232035343-10544-1-git-send-email-ted%40tedpavlic.com

```
From: Ted Pavlic <ted@tedpavlic.com>

Under "set -u" semantics, it is an error to access undefined variables.
Some user environments may enable this setting in the interactive shell.

In any context where the completion functions access an undefined
variable, accessing a default empty string (aka "${1-}" instead of "$1")
is a reasonable way to code the function, as it silences the undefined
variable error while still supplying an empty string.

In this patch, functions that should always take an argument still use
$1. Functions that have optional arguments use ${1-}.

Subject: [PATCH noindent 2/3] bash-completion: Try bash completions before simple filetype
Message-ID: <1232035343-10544-2-git-send-email-ted@tedpavlic.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1232035343-10544-2-git-send-email-ted%40tedpavlic.com
In-Reply-To: <1232035343-10544-1-git-send-email-ted@tedpavlic.com>

```
From: Ted Pavlic <ted@tedpavlic.com>

When a git completion is not found, a bash shell should try bash-type
completions first before going to standard filetype completions. This
patch /adds/ "-o bashdefault" to the completion line. If that option is
not available, it uses the old method.

This behavior was inspired by Mercurial's bash completion script.

Message-ID: <1232035343-10544-3-git-send-email-ted@tedpavlic.com>

In-Reply-To: <1232035343-10544-2-git-send-email-ted@tedpavlic.com>

```
From: Ted Pavlic <ted@tedpavlic.com>

Adds a few simple comments above commands that take arguments. These
comments are meant to remind developers of potential problems that can
occur when the script is sourced on systems with "set -u." Any
function which "requires" arguments really ought to be called with
explicit arguments given.

Also adds a #!bash to the top of bash completions so that editing
software can always identify that the file is of sh type.
