Git bash-completion with filename support?

Question

is there a bash-completion script that supports filename completion? I use mostly mercurial and there I can type:

hg diff test/test_

Answer 1

Not really your desired answer but I wanted to let you know that soon fish (friendly interactive shell) will give you git filename completion support out of the box. It is currently in master with a 2.3.0 release coming soon.

If you have a status like this:

$ git status
modified: ../README.md
$ git add 
:/README.md 

You can also just type README and hit tab and it will insert it for you if it is the only match. Friggin nice!
