Will queue with a slight update to the log message. I am unsure if
we want to limit "-<TAB>" to one-letter options or if we want to
include the long ones (the latter is what v2 implements), but let's
see if others have strong opinions.
completion: complete "git -<TAB>" with short options
"git" itself has completion for its long options and subcommands,
but not for its short options. Add support for them.
