[PATCH v5 0/3] completion of 'git [-C <dir>] diff'

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

The primary motivation for this topic is that the command-line
completion of 'git diff' does not handle paths (unlike 'git status'
and 'git add') and instead relies on the default behavior of Bash
command-line completion, which completes files in $PWD; this does
not work at all with the '-C <directory>' option.

This series teaches the completion machinery to complete revisions
(unless '--' exists), then tracked paths, and then untracked paths,
before letting the Bash default kick in.  This way, we correctly
complete 'git diff' command line even when '-C <directory>' is in
effect.

The v5 iteration addresses two points identified by Elijah in v4.
Hopefully this will be the "small and final" reroll.

 1/3: completion: no-op refactoring of diff completion
 2/3: completion: complete tracked paths for 'git diff'
 3/3: completion: 'git diff' completes untracked paths as a last
        resort
