That's exactly the problem: there isn't, there can't be one single whatever custom code I want. The compgen() in __gitcomp() will be replaced by an enhanced version of the loop in __gitcomp_1(), while in __gitcomp_nl() it will be replaced by a little awk scriptlet. And then there is the oddball $(git ls-tree |sed magic) in __git_complete_revlist_file(), where possible completion words are filenames possibly containing newlines, therefore requiring yet another approach. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I believe zsh could benefit from this information to decide whether to run the default completion (e.g. files) or not, but as you said, if it's not used consistently for bash, there's no point in trying.
