- Generally better descriptions,
- uname checks to not complerte unavailable options on
NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFly, Solaris, Darwin
- Describe/complete GNU's --time=access,mtime... arg
- Remove -f it is a no-op and not documented.
This is sort of slow because it's called hundreds of times.
We used to have a cache, introduced in ad9b4290e, but it was removed
in fee5a9125a because it had
false-positives.
So what we do, because the issue is that this is called hundreds of
times per-commandline, we cache it keyed on the commandline.
This speeds up `complete -C'git sta'` by a factor of 2.3x.
Commit ad9b4290e optimized git completions by adding a completion that would
run on every completion request, which allows to precompute data used by
other completion entries. Unfortunately, the completion entry is not run
when the commandline contains a flag like `git -C`. If we didn't
already load git.fish, we'd error. Additionally, we got false positive
completions for `git diff -c`.
So this hack was a very bad idea. We should optimize in another way.
git versions that only support porcelain v1 output (like on CentOS 7,
which has 1.8.3) weren't completing files prefixed with : correctly iff
the name after the colon was also a valid relative path.
Fixes the tests on CentOS 7.
Git's pathspec system is kind of annoying:
> A pathspec that begins with a colon : has special meaning. In the short form, the leading colon : is followed by zero or more "magic signature" letters (which optionally is terminated by another colon :), and the remainder is the pattern to match against the path. The "magic signature" consists of ASCII symbols that are neither alphanumeric, glob, regex special characters nor colon. The optional colon that terminates the "magic signature" can be omitted if the pattern begins with a character that does not belong to "magic signature" symbol set and is not a colon.
So if we complete `:/foo`, that "works" because "f" is alphanumeric
and so the "/" is the only magic character here.
If, however the filename starts with a magic character, that's used as
a magic signature.
So we do what the docs say and terminate the magic signature after the
"/" (which means "from the repo root").
Fixes#9004
`wg show` command shows entire interfaces configuration, not just the
list. This breaks completion when running fish from root, because
command output looks like this:
interface: wg0
public key: fred2rX85AxpcTObLuiWTzkRPZaXjnhd1C4XOdZOGWs=
private key: (hidden)
listening port: 12345
fwmark: 0xca6c

allowed ips: 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
latest handshake: 1 minute, 37 seconds ago

To show just the list of active interfaces, `wg show interfaces` should
be used instead.
Because TAGs are easy to type and complete, but commits with its SHA are
difficult to complete manualy. Keep commits and TAGs order to show more recent
commits first.
Whenever completing any git commandline, we invoke __fish_git_using_command
173 times*. Every invocation calls "commandline" and "argparse"
to the same effect. Let's parse the command line once, and reuse the results
later.
I'm observing a speed-up from 200ms to 120ms with
perf stat -r 10 buildrel/fish -c 'complete -C "git checkout ">/dev/null'
Alternative solutions:
1. teach fish to cache such things automatically.
2. rewrite git completions to compute most completions in a single function,
which will naturally avoid redundant work. This sounds viable but it's
a lot of work.
* we have a thousand uses of __fish_git_using_command, so I'm not sure why
it's only 173.
