The first two fix benign bugs in completion tests, and the third adds tests for __gitcomp_nl(). These are good to go. The fourth adds __gitcomp() and __gitcomp_nl() tests for this expansion breakage. The expected results might need some adjustments, because they contain special characters unquoted, but I'm tempted to say that a branch called $foo is so rare in practice, that we shouldn't bother. The final one is a proof of concept for inspiration. It gets rid of compgen and its crazy additional expansion replacing it with a small sed script. It needs further work to handle words with whitespaces and special characters.
