First submission, any guidance is appreciated.
Having recently started using remote groups I have found the feature to
be missing:
* bash completion
* easy listing functionality
* remote renames don't update group members with the rename (tricky)
This patch aims to fix the bash completion and simplify listing remote
groups by adding a `git remote group` subcommand.
Note: the bash completion can be solved without the subcommand, using
something like:
`git config --get-regexp 'remotes\.' | awk ...
but if this feature is intended to be supported then giving it a subcommand
felt like the better approach.
Lastly, I wanted to at least add a test for the expected behavior of
remote grups when a remote is renamed but found the current behavior
surprising, i.e.
$ git config --get-regexp 'remotes\.'
file:.git/config remotes.group1 upstream origin
$ git remote rename origin fork
Renaming remote references: 100% (8/8), done.
$ git config --get-regexp 'remotes\.'
file:.git/config remotes.group1 upstream origin
The remote group is defined in the local config file and I would expect
the rename to rename the group member here. However, should the group
have been defined in the global `~/.gitconfig` the current behavior
makes perfect sense.
As this was unclear, I decided not to include it in this patch series
but considering that the area I am touching is the same, any comments
would be appreciated. If we reach a conclusion I'm happy to create a new
patch series to follow up on this.
