Bug 432328 – dev-vcs/git-1.7.12-r1: __git_ps1 has gone from bash-completion

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex Muenn 2012-08-22 17:28:25 UTC]

After upgrading to latest Git version, bash function __git_ps1 is not available anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. emerge Git with bash-completion enabled
1. enable Git bash-completion module
2. enter a directory under Git version control
3. check completion upon 'git' command
4. __git_* commands should be available but __git_ps1 is missing
X: try to run __git_ps1
Actual Results:  
bash: __git_ps1: command not found

Expected Results:  
Output of active branch, e.g. (master)

Git sources of bash-completion has been changed. Definition of '__git_ps1' function has been moved to a separate file:

from: contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
to:   contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh

I have just executed:

# tail -n+76 contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh >> contrib/completion/git-completion.bash

and replaced completion sources on my system

# cp contrib/completion/git-completion.bash /usr/share/bash-completion/git

Created attachment 321968 [details]
original git-core file containing __git_ps1 function

Fixed in 1.7.12-r2. You need to enable the new git-prompt script.

There should be a message informing about the necessary change when emerging one of the newer git versions.
