[PATCH] git-completion.tcsh: fix redirect with noclobber

Ariel Faigon· Jun 9, 2015, 17:25 UTC · lore

tcsh users who happen to have 'set noclobber' elsewhere in their ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc startup files get a 'File exist' error, and the tcsh completion file doesn't get generated/updated.

Adding a `!` in the redirect works correctly for both clobber (default) and 'set noclobber' users.

Thanks for enduring three iterations for a single-liner. This versio will show nicely in "git log -p" output ;-)

In case anybody is wondering, that "Helped-by: notifications@github" was merely because I said "this change makes sense, care to send it over to us at git@vger?" from github UI on Ariel's commit. I do not deserve helped-by for merely encouraging participation.

Will queue.  Thanks again.
