By the looks of it, this installs five commands whose names start with
'del':

  git-delete-branch
  git-delete-merged-branches
  git-delete-submodule
  git-delete-tag
  git-delta

If this is indeed the case, then ...

... this behavior would, in fact, be a bug, because 'del' is the
unique prefix of those five commands.

And I think this is the right behavior, and on a second TAB it should
list all commands whose name starts with 'del'.
