I'd like to see this change too and have been tempted to submit it myself.

The only thing I'd (possibly) change, which speaks to your comments about contrib/, would be to make it conditional, requiring the builder to enable it specifically during the rpmbuild. Alternately, it could be split out to a git-completion subpackage?

Personally, I'm ok with what you've done here as we always do this ourselves.

Thanks! -Ben
