Shell command aliases can get rather complex, and the completion script can not always determine correctly the git command invoked by such an alias. For such cases users might want to provide custom completion scripts the same way like for their custom commands made possible by the previous patch. The current completion script does not allow this, because if it encounters an alias, then it will unconditionally perform completion for the aliased git command (in case it can determine the aliased git command, of course). With this patch the completion script will first search for a completion function for the command given on the command line, be it a git command, a custom git command of the user, or an alias, and invoke that function to perform the completion. This has no effect on git commands, because they can not be aliased anyway. If it is an alias and there is a completion function for that alias (e.g. _git_foo() for the alias 'foo'), then it will be invoked to perform completion, allowing users to provide custom completion functions for aliases. If such a completion function can not be found, only then will the completion script check whether the command given on the command line is an alias or not, and proceed as usual (i.e. find out the aliased git command and provide completion for it).

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
