The best idea seems to write a Python script sourcing the Stgit source
(stgit/main.py to get commands, and then loading each class and iterating
over the "options" module member).

I can add a function in stgit/main.py which would list the options.
The tla-completion generates a file listing a command with its option
on every line:

  push -a -all -n --number -t --to --reverse --undo -h --help
  ...

Since I don't know much about the bash completion, let me know of the
format you'd prefer.

Ok, I'll look into that. Probably it'll be around "opts_push="-a --all -n 
--number...", i.e. this one works fine, through name indirection, i.e. you 
say "expand the var which name is given by this expr".

Btw, what do you think about speeding up completions by reimplementing
things like "stg applied" or "stg unapplied" via cat (as noted in the
comments at the beginning of the script)? Tab completions can easily
livelock a shell on a busy system, so it's worthy speeding the thing up.

In general, it is better to use the stg commands but the repository
structure won't probably change for a long time

Ok.

and it's OK to 
optimise (if the speed improvement is visible).

I believe it is, yes.

Anyway, these 
particular commands are pretty fast (they behave like cat) but there
are others which are slower (usually the commands involving calls to
the GIT tool).

They _would_ behave like cat, except that Python is slow enough. Half a second 
on a (almost) idle system means seconds and seconds on a busy system, and 
it's pretty frequent that when I don't wait enough for an op. to complete I 
get a traceback from the import statements, which haven't been completed. 

And let's leave Gentoo's emerge alone - I'd say imports can take up to a 
minute.
