Next bit of git completion output usability.
Sometimes it would be useful to get a one-line summary of the
commit corresponding to what you're about to e.g. checkout. I have lots
of similarly named branches and seeing the commit at the head of each
branch would help me work out which one I want to checkout.
The problem here is that you can get offered so many commit objects that
trying to do this for all of them in a big completion would be loopy.
So this probably shouldn't be tied to a standard style like verbose.
Here's my first go, but it's not there yet. The max-verbose style
compares against the number of completions so far to decide if it's
worth doing this. The reason this doesn't really work is you don't yet
know which of the sets of tags is going to be the most useful, and in
particular you don't yet know which of the list of object just passed in
is actually going to match. What you really want to do is do the
matching, and only then decide how you're going to describe it. I don't
know of a way to do that without second-guessing the matcher which isn't
a great thing to do; with the tags loop offering tags at equal priority
and running in an essentially random order the problem may be
insuperable.
One way of doing it would be to impose the limit instead over the
potential matches, but that's quite poor if actually there's a huge
list (e.g. you're looking at commit hashes) but actually only one
matches (e.g. you've put an unambiguous prefix on the command line
already and simply typed ^D to check if it's really the commit you
want, something I've been used to doing with other SCM systems for a
long time).
Note that with the standard style mechanism we already have the
capability to say only describe this style, and in that case
the max-verbose style may only be useful set to a large value to
enable it on the assumption that there won't actually be too many.
But that doesn't help with the many-are-called-but-few-are-chosen
problem.
I'm posting this to inspire suggestions. With tags limited in the way
suggested by Oliver in the heads-local thread this isn't too bad, but in
that case having the limit is pretty useless --- you've got one set of
objects and at the point where you test the limit none of them have
matched yet.
Note also the locations using __git_describe_commit aren't well
chosen: I naively looked for all the locations using -M 'r:|/=**' and
switched those.
There are obviously other ways of extending this if it can be made
useful.

I'm going to commit this in its latest form, below, even though I don't
think it's the final word on the subject. It has no effect unless you
set the style max-verbose. The reasons for committing it are (i) it
encapsulates the mechanism for verbose descriptions which can be used
whatever the final solution is (ii) I'm using it anyway (iii) it's more
useful if it keeps getting updated as part of the script in the
repository even if it's not final (iv) it allows other people to play
with logic for getting verbose descriptions.
