Not only can we complete the long options for git-commit, but now we can also complete author strings by looking up all prior author names in all branches and offering them up as possible completions. This is similiar to the support used by the --author= option to git-log. Unfortunately this changes names which use ' within their string. It seems to be bash's fault here, the ' is being passed out by sed but is getting removed during the completion generation. Fortunately ' appears in only one name in git.git so the damage is likely to be rather low. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
