branch: master
commit 38427494d5b86d803f941b77134886ba5eec20dd
Author: Jim Porter <jporterbugs@gmail.com>
Commit: Jim Porter <jporterbugs@gmail.com>

    Fix Pcompletion of "tar" when using unrecognized arguments
    
    Previously, arguments to tar like "--warning=no-timestamp" would cause
    Pcompletion to hang (bug#58921).
    
    This simplifies the logic flow by moving all the cases for "--"
    arguments inside the THEN form of '(if (pcomplete-match "^--" 0)', and
    for all "-" arguments inside the ELSE form.
    
    * lisp/pcmpl-gnu.el (pcmpl-gnu--tar-long-options): New variable.
    (pcomplete/tar): Properly handle completion of arguments that look
    like "--ARG=", even if they're not recognized by this function.
