I agree with Junio that some explanation would be necessary here.
I'm not sure this change is in general a good idea. I can imagine that it would be useful for e.g. java projects, where you are forced to have deep directory structures, but it will surely cause surprises and confusion for users who trained their fingers to quickly enter long paths with a few keystrokes and completion. Furthermore, it seems to cause considerable performance penalty, because it will fork three processes and a subshell to connect them with a pipe for such a "simple" thing as file name completion. And one of those processes is git status, which alone can take a while, especially for large repositories, and as a side effect it refreshes the index (but that is probably harmless).

That won't do. Imaginge you want to add ../some/file, and therefore you do 'git add ../so<TAB>'. In this case $cur will hold '../so', which is not a directory (or at least not the directory you are looking for).

Echoing a command substitution is unnecessary.

if __git_has_doubledash ; then
__gitcomp "$(__git_files_having_status ...)"
return
fi
case "$cur" in
[...]
This will make the patch shorter and easier to review, it won't increase the indentation unnecesarily, and it will be friendlier to the users running 'git blame' in the future.
