Last Call for v0.2

[Keith Dahlby]

I finally got around to fixing some bugs that have been annoying me...

• Special branch status (like my-branch|REBASE-i) actually works now.
  
• Merge-conflicted files will no longer show up twice in tab completion lists.
• Existing variables named $r, $b or $c were accidentally injected into the prompt; Get-GitBranch now clears them in its scope first.
  
• Tab expansion is now a lot more flexible in when it will complete, ignoring extra command switches when possible. For example, git add -p <tab> will complete from Working correctly.

Please update to latest when possible and let me know if you find any other glaring issues. I'm thinking of tagging v0.2 soon as the final version that will support msysgit 1.6. Then we can take a dependency on git status -s to improve performance on larger repositories. Thoughts?

Cheers ~

Looks good - I like the tab expansion enhancements. 

+1 for making this the last version to support 1.6. I had to revert back to my custom Get-GitStatus as it's still too slow on 1.7.0.2. I also checked with the 1.7.1 beta and it has the same issue.

Git status also has a "-b" flag as of 1.7.1 which shows the branch name when using "status -s", which means if we do switch to this approach then we don't need an additional call to get the current branch.

For anyone interested, here's a new version of Get-GitStatus that makes use of git 1.7.1's "git status -s -b":

Might want to use git status --porcelain instead, though not sure if it supports -b.

[Jeremy Skinner]

No, it doesn't seem to support -b when using --porcelain. 

[Keith Dahlby]

Does git status -z -b work? Can't believe they wouldn't think someone parsing status output might have a use for the branch information.

[Jeremy Skinner]

git status -z -b seems to just have the same output as a normal git status. However, git status --porcelain -z -b uses NUL line terminators but still doesn't show the branch output. IMO git status -s -b is still the easiest to parse.

Only took a month to actually tag the v0.2 release...

Onward to 0.3!
