Three more patches to git's bash completion script.
The first two are non-critical:
* The first patch changes two "git rev-parse" calls to "__gitdir" to
  match the convention used in the rest of the script.
* The second patch changes "[...]" to "test ..." to match git
  convention. In the one case of "[...] || [...]", a "test || test" call
  is used. Alternatively, a "test ... -o ..." call could be used, but
  that might not be as readable.

The third fixes an ugly error in the new GIT_PS1_DIRTYSTATE. In order to determine whether the branch name needs a "*" following it, the DIRTYSTATE implementation uses a "git diff." Because "git diff" is illegal when not in a working tree, this command gives an ugly error when changing directory to ".git". This patch detects this case and sets "--work-tree=..". Is there a better fix?

Ted Pavlic (3):
  completion: For consistency, changed "git rev-parse" to __gitdir
    calls.
  completion: Change "if [...]" to "if test ..." to match git
    convention
  completion: Prevents GIT_PS1_DIRTYSTATE from breaking when CWD is
    .git
