Unless the user explicitly specifies the path(s)... But that comes at
the end of the command line, so the completion script could have no
idea about it at the time of 'git grep <TAB>'.

Oh, yes, indeed.
But there was a point in using __gitdir() here: it respects the
--git-dir= option. Which brings up the question: what
should 'git --git-dir=/some/where/.git grep <TAB>' offer?
So in the end I agree that it's not a good idea.

_get_comp_words_by_ref() is a general completion function, the purpose
of which is to provide a bash-version-independent equivalent of
$COMP_WORDS and $COMP_CWORD by working around the different word
splitting rules. It doesn't know about git and its commands at all.
But there is the while loop in _git() that looks for the git command
(among other things) on the command line, which could store the index
of the command name in $words in a variable. This variable could then
be used in that case statement (and probably in a couple of other
places, too).
Best,
Gábor

No need for $oldifs here; do a local IFS=/ instead, and then it just
goes out of scope when returning from the function.
