[PATCH v3 0/4] completion: add support for 'git history'

[Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org>]

This series adds Bash completion for the subcommands of "git history"
and their options.

Patch #1 adds the basic subcommand and options completion. Patch #2 and

options. Finally, Patch #4 adds completion for pathspecs accepted by
"split".

For each of the completions, add a set of relevant test cases.

Changes in v3:

  - Ignore the split "<option> <value>" syntax for options that take
    arguments. This simplifies revision detection and avoids hard-coding
    option names.
  - Test that options are not completed before a subcommand.

Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260806-history_autocompletion-v2-0-7e60f52a1c20@kernel.org

Changes in v2:

  - Complete exactly one required revision and leave subsequent
    arguments to subcommand-specific completion.
  - Do not complete options after "--".
  - Complete values for "--empty" and "--update-refs".
  - Complete pathspecs for "git history split".
  - Expand the test coverage for options, revisions, and pathspecs.
