Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] completion: add 'git history' subcommands
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:05:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813-history_autocompletion-v3-1-69eed1cea93a@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813-history_autocompletion-v3-0-69eed1cea93a@kernel.org>

Use the parse-options completion helpers for the

  git history

subcommands and their options. All current history subcommands take a
revision as their first positional argument, so complete that argument
as a revision.

Once the revision is present, leave any further positional arguments to
subcommand-specific completion. This allows a subcommand to complete
another kind of argument, such as the pathspec accepted by

  git history split

or another revision if a future subcommand accepts one.

Signed-off-by: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org>
---
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.

Changes in v2:

  - Test options before and after revisions.
  - Do not complete options after "--".
  - Stop revision completion after the first required revision.
