I think this message shows the conflict in setting up such a list. We
want the command set to be as tiny as possible to help new users find
their way. But we want the command set to be useful to git power users.

I wonder if there should be multiple sets of commands for completion,
with a minimal set enabled by default, and a "power user" set that
exposes extra commands. I dunno. Maybe that is overengineering. I don't
even use the bash completion at all.
