Please have a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches to see how to
properly format the commit message, i.e. no greeting and sign-off in
the commit message part, and the S-o-b line should be the last before
the '---'.
Your patch seems to be severely line-wrapped. That document also
contains a few MUA-specific tips to help avoid that.
Other than that, it's a good description of the changes and
considerations. I agree that this approach seems to be the best from
the three.

That comment is only true for older Bash versions. Since v4 Bash
splits the command line at characters that the readline library treats
as word separators when performing word completion. But the
completion script has functions to deal with both, so this shouldn't
be a problem.

Really? ;)
I like the above comments about setting COMP_CWORD, because they
explain why you do what you do, which would be otherwise difficult to
figure out. But telling that an echo in a for loop over an array
prints that array is, well, probably not necessary.

There is no need for the loop here to print the array one element per
line:
local IFS=$'\n'
echo "${COMPREPLY[*]}"

Where does the second argument come from? Below you run this script
as '${__git_tcsh_completion_script} "${COMMAND_LINE}"', i.e. $2 is
never set. Am I missing something?

Not sure about this. If I source a script to provide completion for a
command, then I definitely don't expect it to change file permissions.
However, even if the git completion script is not executable, you can
still run it with 'bash ${__git_tcsh_completion_script}'. This way
neither the user would need to set permissions, not the script would
need to set it behind the users back. Furthermore, this would also
make changing the shebang line unnecessary.

Is the 'sort | uniq' really necessary? After the completion function
returns Bash automatically sorts the elements in COMPREPLY and removes
any duplicates. Doesn't tcsh do the same? I have no idea about tcsh
completion.
Does the git completion script returns any duplicates at all?
Ambigious refs come to mind, but I just checked that refs completion,
or rather 'git for-each-ref' (the command driving refs completion), is
kind enough to make any ambigious ref names unique (i.e. a branch and
a tag with the same name is listed as 'heads/name' and 'tags/name').
