[PATCH v6 3/3] completion: 'git diff' completes untracked paths as a last resort

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

We taught 'git diff' to first try to complete revisions (unless '--'
is present on the command line) and, failing that, to complete
tracked paths.  If this yields nothing, it lets the Bash default,
which offers paths in $PWD, kick in.

Teach it to complete untracked paths before giving up and letting
the Bash default kick in.  With this change,

    $ git -C another-directory diff un<TAB>

finds the 'untracked' file in another-directory and offers it as a
completion candidate.
