The problem is that I have git commands the distro did not install in
my $PATH.  For example, I currently have git-new-workdir in ~/bin, and
once I bzr-fastexport works a little better, I will install git-bzr.

Even without such commands, in many distributions the completion
should not be one size fits all, since git-svn (for example) belongs
to a different package.

I would expect the distribution to take care of populating the initial
completion list and updating it on upgrades.
