The git-completion.bash script did not implemented full, git aware, support to complete paths, for git commands that operate on files within the current working directory or the index. As an example: git add <TAB> will suggest all files in the current working directory, including ignored files and files that have not been modified. Support path completion, for git commands where the non-option arguments always refer to paths within the current working directory or the index, as follows: * the path completion for the "git rm" and "git ls-files" commands will suggest all cached files. * the path completion for the "git add" command will suggest all untracked and modified files. Ignored files are excluded. * the path completion for the "git clean" command will suggest all untracked files. Ignored files are excluded. * the path completion for the "git mv" command will suggest all cached files when expanding the first argument, and all untracked and cached files for subsequent arguments. In the latter case, empty directories are included and ignored files are excluded. * the path completion for the "git commit" command will suggest all files that have been modified from the HEAD, if HEAD exists, otherwise it will suggest all cached files. For all affected commands, completion will always stop at directory boundary. Only standard ignored files are excluded, using the --exclude-standard option of the ls-files command. When using a recent Bash version, Git path completion will be the same as builtin file completion, e.g. git add contrib/ will suggest relative file names.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
