Expose mini.git internals for command impl / completion about mini.nvim HOT 3 OPEN

Thanks for the suggestion!

I am afraid, I'd like to avoid exporting too much from 'mini.git' (or any modules, for that matter). It can get convoluted pretty quickly.

I was hoping that vim.api.nvim_get_commands({}) can return both complete function and command implementation, but sadly (and confusingly) it does not 😞

Currently my best suggestion for command_impl replacement would be to manually construct command string and use vim.cmd('Git ...') explicitly.

And as for command_complete()... I don't have any even remotely useful suggestions. Maybe try using string complete field from :h command-complete (like 'file_in_path' with adjusted 'path' option) or implement from scratch for most important for you cases.

Making completion support custom flags in this exact command (like --git-dir) is also non-trivial under current design.

I maybe ponder a bit over this, but I don't have high hopes for this.

I also looked at that but it only gives a reference to the complete function, it also requires iterating all commands as there is no vim.api.nvim_get_command for a single command

I thought about that too, perhaps with abbrev but I dislike this solution, it also feels less robust, not enough to warrant replacing the trusty vim-fugitive.

Fair enough, I guess we can close this issue unless you need more pondering time :)

It's a map (which is also not very consistent with other API methods). So it would be like vim.api.nvim_get_commands({}).Git.

Yes, let's keep this open for a bit. You never know.
