Hmm. I'll have to try it, but I was half planning to hard-code the
list of subcommands instead of calling "stg help" since it causes a
tangible delay. On the machines I've tried, it easily takes 0.2
seconds to run "stg help" (with hot caches; with cold caches, it's
_really_ bad), and that's bad for interactive behavior.
There's also the point that some switches need (or can benefit from)
the tab completion machinery, and thus can't just be automatically
extracted and used. But autocompleting the switch names shouldn't
interfere with that, and hard-coding stuff that changes every now and
then is both morally wrong and a lot of work.

No problem. Thanks to the power of modern version control systems, I'm
able to use my own branch of StGIT in the meantime, on all the various
computers that I use. :-)
