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").

`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
peer: g2YHHDkxmgoT9EV0TxKtq556WLXpaOh4zgC5L7EAGTQ=
endpoint: 192.168.88.50:54321
allowed ips: 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
latest handshake: 1 minute, 37 seconds ago
transfer: 1.83 MiB received, 927.19 KiB sent
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.
See the discussion in #8266
localectl may emit an error for whatever reason. The localectl
completion runs localectl in a command substitution so our stderr
redirect doesn't apply. Just redirect to null. Hopefully this fixes the
tests.
I *think* this is printing
> debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
On Github Actions?
Might need to adjust the test to store the output.
