Users generally are not going to need to invoke plumbing-level commands
from within one line shell commands. If they are invoking these commands
then it is likely that they are glueing them together into a shell script
to perform an action, in which case bash completion for these commands is
of relatively little use.

Now that git-merge is high-level Porcelain users are going to expect
to be able to use it from the command line, in which case we really
should also be able to complete ref names as parameters.
I'm also including completion support for the merge strategies
that are supported by git-merge.sh, should the user wish to use a
different strategy than their default.

This change removes between 1 and 4 sed invocations per completion
entered by the user. In the case of cat-file the 4 invocations per
completion can take a while on Cygwin; running these replacements
directly within bash saves some time for the end user.

Now that log, whatchanged, rev-list, etc. support the symmetric
difference operator '...' we should provide bash completion for it
just like we do for '..'.
While we are at it we can remove two sed invocations during the
interactive prompt and replace them with internal bash operations.

If the user has setup a command line of "git --git-dir=baz" then
anything we complete must be performed within the scope of "baz"
and not the current working directory.
This is useful with commands such as "git --git-dir=git.git log m"
to complete out "master" and view the log for the master branch of
the git.git repository. As a nice side effect this also works for
aliases within the target repository, just as git would honor them.
Unfortunately because we still examine arguments by absolute position
in most of the more complex commands (e.g. git push) using --git-dir
with those commands will probably still cause completion to fail.

Now that Git natively supports remote specifications within the
config file such as:
[remote "origin"]
url = ...
we should provide bash completion support "out of the box" for
these remotes, just like we do for the .git/remotes directory.
Also cleaned up the __git_aliases expansion to use the same form
of querying and filtering repo-config as this saves two fork/execs
in the middle of a user prompted completion. Finally also forced
the variable 'word' to be local within __git_aliased_command.

The only platform which actually needs to define .exe suffixes as
part of its completion set is Cygwin. So don't define them on any
other platform.

The show-branch and merge-base commands were partially supported
when it came to bash completions as they were only specified in
one form another. Now we specify them in both forms.

Completion for the --hard/--soft/--mixed modes of operation as

On Cygwin a user might complete the new git-branch builtin as
git-branch.exe, at which point bash requires a new completion
registration for the command.

This is a set of bash completion routines for many of the
popular core Git tools. I wrote these routines from scratch
after reading the git-compl and git-compl-lib routines available
from the gitcompletion package at http://gitweb.hawaga.org.uk/
and found those to be lacking in functionality for some commands.
Consequently there may be some similarities but many differences.
Since these are completion routines only for tools shipped with
core Git and since bash is a popular shell on many of the native
core Git platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, BSD) including these
routines as part of the stock package would probably be convienent
for many users.
