By default we show porcelain, external commands and a couple others
that are also popular. If you are not happy with this list, you can
now customize it. See the big comment block for details.
PS. perhaps I should make aliases a group too, which makes it possible
to _not_ complete aliases by omitting this special group in
$GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS

+# When set, "git --list-cmds=$GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS" will be
+# used to get the list of completable commands. The default is
+# "mainporcelain,others,list-complete" (in English: all porcelain
+# commands and external ones are included. Certain non-porcelain
+# commands are also marked for completion in command-list.txt).
+# You could for example complete all commands with
+#
+# GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS=main,others
+#
+# Or you could go with defaults add some extra commands specified
+# in the configuration variable completion.commands [1] with
+#
+# GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS=mainporcelain,others,list-complete,config
+#
+# Or go completely custom group with
+#
+# GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS=config
+#
+# Or you could even play with other command categories found in
+# command-list.txt.
+#
+# [1] Note that completion.commands should not be per-repository
+# since the command list is generated once and cached.
+#
+# completion.commands could be used to exclude commands as
+# well. If a command in this list begins with '-', then it
+# will be excluded from the list of commands gathered by the
+# groups specified before "config" in
+# $GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS.
