[PATCH] bash: update 'git commit' completion

I just wanted to add the recently learnt '--reset-author' option, but then noticed that there are many more options missing. This patch adds support for all of 'git commit's options, except '--allow-empty', because it is primarily there for foreign scm interfaces.

Furthermore, this patch also adds support for completing the arguments of those options that take a non-filename argument: valid modes are offered for '--cleanup' and '--untracked-files', while refs for '--reuse-message' and '--reedit-message', because these two take a commit as argument.
