I agree with Junio that some explanation would be necessary here.

I'm not sure this change is in general a good idea.  I can imagine
that it would be useful for e.g. java projects, where you are forced
to have deep directory structures, but it will surely cause surprises
and confusion for users who trained their fingers to quickly enter
long paths with a few keystrokes and completion.  Furthermore, it
seems to cause considerable performance penalty, because it will fork
three processes and a subshell to connect them with a pipe for such a
"simple" thing as file name completion.  And one of those processes is
git status, which alone can take a while, especially for large
repositories, and as a side effect it refreshes the index (but that is
probably harmless).

That won't do.  Imaginge you want to add ../some/file, and therefore
you do 'git add ../so<TAB>'.  In this case $cur will hold '../so',
which is not a directory (or at least not the directory you are
looking for).

Please use tabs for indentation.

Echoing a command substitution is unnecessary.

Please do this and the others the other way around, as you did in
_git_checkout(), i.e.

	if __git_has_doubledash ; then
		__gitcomp "$(__git_files_having_status ...)"
		return
	fi

	case "$cur" in
	[...]

This will make the patch shorter and easier to review, it won't
increase the indentation unnecesarily, and it will be friendlier to
the users running 'git blame' in the future.

That's an independent change; I don't think you want to remove
namespaces here.

'git rm' can be used to delete any tracked files, but this limits
completion to only those files that are already deleted from the work
tree or are unmerged.

Superfluous new line.
