Confirmed.  Completion works properly on OS X, but fails on Ubuntu 10.10

OS X 10.6.4:
  bash: 3.2.48
  git:  1.7.3.1.209.g52408 (next + my t/gitweb-lib patch)
  output:
$ git log --pretty=<tab><tab>
email     full      medium    raw       
format:   fuller    oneline   short

Ubuntu 10.10:
  bash: 4.1.5
  git:  1.7.1 (from apt)
  output:
$ git log --pretty=<tab><tab>
.bash/               .irbrc
.bash_history        .less
.bash_logout         .local/
.bash_profile        Music/
